June 30, 2010 — Imperial Crane, Bridgeview, Ill., is currently working on Stage One of the $33 million rehabilitation project of the historical Congress Parkway Bridge.  Built in the 1950’s it is 220 feet in length, and located over the south branch of the Chicago River, Chicago, Ill. Imperial was hired by Omega Demolition and Walsh Construction to begin removal of the current open-grid deck of the bridge, which will be replaced with a closed-deck system.  Two 115-ton Liebherrs were used to complete the dismantle. With such a high profile job it is important to work with the right crew.

Dan DeLarosa of Omega chose Imperial because of the quality of the crane company’s operators.  “I have always had safe experiences with Imperial’s employees.  An appropriate and qualified operator is matched to each job.  It is important for me to feel confident that a professional expert is in the seat.”
