F. E. Jordan Associates, Inc. provided construction management services on this project for two years. The project consisted of the complete reconstruction of a section of North Lake Shore Drive between the Chicago River on the south and Grand Avenue on the north.

Plans called for the removal of the existing structure to take place in stages and a temporary bridge across the Ogden Slip to be constructed so traffic would flow during construction. The design of drainage facilities, lighting and power are also included in the project. The approximate construction cost for this roadway project is $29 million. The CM prime was H.W. Lockner.
