Cumberland Circle Redesign: The crux of the project centered on the comprehensive redesign of Cumberland Circle, with a primary focus on creating a modern, efficient, and safe roundabout. Importantly, all five legs of the circle were meticulously engineered to not only facilitate the flow of normal residential traffic but also to accommodate the passage of buses and trucks, aligning the infrastructure with the diverse and dynamic transportation demands of the region.

The existing traffic circle was situated amidst a mix of residential neighborhoods, a church, a school, parks, and commercial establishments. Moreover, the proximity of the Cumberland Station METRA train stop added a layer of complexity, resulting in a continuous influx of traffic throughout the day. Given the pivotal role of this intersection in the region’s transportation network, an intricate phasing plan was imperative for the project’s seamless execution.

Beyond enhancing traffic flow and safety, this project set a precedent for future infrastructure improvements in the district and demonstrated HBM’s dedication to fostering the well-being of the local community and ensuring the convenience of commuters in the area. This landmark achievement underscored HBM’s role as a trailblazer in transportation infrastructure design and construction.
