IDOT одобрил строительство моста для логистического парка NorthPoint в Джолите

IDOT Approves Bridge For NorthPoint The main obstacle preventing the NorthPoint development from building more warehouse space on the thousands of acres of property they own in Joliet has been the lack of a bridge over Route 53. WJOL has learned that IDOT has now approved building the bridge over Route 53, to facilitate NorthPoint’s plan to build 20 to 30 million square feet of more warehouse space to which thousands of trucks will traverse to and from. The IDOT approval means NorthPoint can begin work on the site with mass grading, following a zoning meeting on August 20. NorthPoint will pay for the $14 million bridge, and will be charged with maintaining the bridge moving forward. NorthPoint started looking in Elwood close to 10 years ago, but hundreds of people in opposition to the planned warehouse park would show up to speak at meetings. “Say No To NorthPoint” became their battle cry. Currently, NorthPoint has three large buildings on their property west of Rt. 53, with the expectation that the organization will build the massive logistics park east of Rt. 53 and north and south of Manhattan Road.
