We have worked with numerous sub-consultants to analyze and implement traffic signal improvements for SRA Routes, urban intersections, commercial developments and rural roadways.
Intersection Improvements and Roadway Widening
Mackie Consultants, LLC has designed and permitted intersection improvements for major and minor roadways. We have worked with Illinois Department of Transportation, Indiana Department of Transportation, Cook County Department of Highways and Transportation, DuPage County DOT, Lake County DOT and McHenry County DOT in improving the traffic network for many different types of developments. We understand the difficulties in obtaining additional right-of-way and strive to design the improvements to minimize the acquisition necessary.
Roadway Reconstruction
Our staff is experienced in designing roadway improvements in well-established urban areas where the new system must fit into the surrounding environment. Our designs have considered access to existing residences, businesses and emergency vehicles during construction as a critical component to the overall project success.
Roadway Rehabilitation
Mackie Consultants, LLC has the expertise necessary to develop design solutions to maximize the use of the existing roadway structure. We can analyze the existing pavement conditions to determine the most cost-effective solution for the re-use of the existing asphalt and base materials into the enhanced roadway system.
Roadway Condition Evaluation and Rating Analysis
We have worked with different municipalities and highway departments to analyze the conditions of the existing roads to prioritize the need for roadway improvements. This analysis has also included the appropriate method for repair and/or reconstruction and concept opinions of probable cost to determine budgets necessary for construction. We can develop a maintenance program that will increase the overall life of the existing roadway.

Bike Ways and Nature Trails
Most people don’t consider Bike Ways and Nature Trails to be part of the transportation system. However, in today’s environment, an effective bike network provides individuals with an alternate means of transportation. We have integrated bike trails into all types of developments and throughout existing and proposed roadway systems.
