New Mississippi River Bridge

The Illinois Department of Transportation awarded UPDC the contract to provide land acquisition and relocation services in conjunction with the New Mississippi River Bridge Project.  As prime consultant on this project, UPDC managed a team of real estate professionals in the acquisition of property for the construction of a new bridge over the Mississippi, connecting Missouri and Illinois.     In this effort, UPDC managed all aspects of acquisition, impacting approximately 200 parcels, consisting of residents, businesses, billboards, railroads and a cell tower.

As required for federally funded programs with relocation, UPDC authored a Relocation Plan detailing the orderly relocation of occupants of residential and commercial properties.  The Relocation Plan further addressed the relocation of outdoor advertising signs and a cell tower.  Developed in compliance with the Uniform Relocation Act and subsequent amendments, the Relocation Plan was submitted to and approved by IDOT.
