Willett, Hofmann & Associates recently completed the deck inspection of the Briggs Street Bridge over Hickory Creek and the Metra Railroad in Will County, Illinois. This impressive four-lane structure spans approximately 1,600 feet and required a coordinated effort from team members in WHA's Moline, Dixon, Rockford, and Joliet offices.
To minimize disruption to the traveling public, the inspection was performed during periods of lower traffic with partial lane closures in place, allowing our team to safely and efficiently evaluate the condition of the bridge.
The Briggs Street Bridge inspection is part of WHA's ongoing bridge rehabilitation program for Will County. Currently, WHA is providing rehabilitation services for 15 structures throughout the county, helping extend their service life and ensuring safe, reliable transportation infrastructure for years to come.

Willett, Hofmann & Associates was proud to be part of the Engineering Society of Illinois 2026 Summer Seminar and Annual Business Meeting on Thursday, July 16, in Rockford, Illinois.
WHA’s Chris Morgan presented alongside Aimee Gibson, Nick Reynolds, and Jack Majcher from Benesch on the I-39 corridor project, a collaborative effort that has been in progress for approximately six years. The presentation highlighted how the project has evolved over time, growing from three original contracts to twelve by breaking the work into smaller, more manageable segments.
During the meeting, ESI also swore in its 2026–2027 slate of officers, including WHA’s Dan Loos as President-Elect.
The weekend continued on Saturday, July 18, with the 67th ESI–Rock River Golf Outing. Twenty-two teams participated in this fun event, which raises money for scholarships for future engineers. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and participants, five engineering students were awarded scholarships this year.
We are proud to support ESI, the engineering profession, and the next generation of engineers!
