LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 13, 2012--
AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for public and
private clients in more than 130 countries around the world, announced
today that a joint venture in which it participates has been awarded a
two-year contract with the Illinois Department of Transportation for
engineering studies as part of a planned major reconstruction project in
the heart of Chicago.
Under the contract, the joint venture will identify the scope of

reconstruction of the city’s Circle Interchange. The interchange carries

highways crucial to the nation’s freight transportation system.

Department of Transportation and the local community on this critical
transportation-infrastructure project,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM

mobility and environmental improvements for Chicago’s residents and
visitors.”
The value of AECOM’s contract was not disclosed.
