Metra Z-100 Bridge

Metra Z-100 Bridge

TranSystems provided design engineering services for the replacement of the Z-100 Bridge over the Fox River in Elgin, Illinois. The bridge was originally constructed in 1881. The Milwaukee District West Line Fox River Bridge Improvement Project (Metra Bridge Z-100) demolished the existing single-track bridge, including the bridge piers, and constructed a double-track bridge built to modern design standards. With two fewer piers than the existing bridge, the new three-pier bridge improves the river hydraulics below.
