Project Description

The Iroquois Landing Dock Safety and Efficiency Project is focused on rehabilitating approximately 3,000 feet of dock wall while strengthening multimodal freight infrastructure, enhancing safety, and restoring cargo handling capacity at the Illinois International Port District.
