Ongoing temporary closures needed to safely accommodate ramp and bridge work and maintain access to traffic
DOWNERS GROVE, IL – Overnight and long-term ramp closures with detours as well as traffic shifts will continue throughout April for the Illinois Tollway’s ongoing work to reconstruct and reconfigure the I-290/I-88 Interchange at the Tri-State Tollway (I-294). Delays are expected.
In addition, beginning the week of April 1, overnight lane closures are scheduled on I-290 in both directions between St. Charles Road and Electric Avenue to implement a long-term traffic shift. Traffic in both directions between Electric Avenue and Butterfield Road shifted earlier this year. Traffic will remain in this configuration through 2024.
Construction and electronic message signs will be in place in advance to alert drivers to the ramp and lane closures, traffic shifts and detours. Up-to-date closure information will be available in the Illinois Tollway’s Daily Construction Alerts. All work is weather dependent.
Throughout April, multiple interchange ramps connecting I-294 to I-290, I-88 and Roosevelt Road are scheduled to close temporarily overnight as needed with posted detours for ongoing bridge reconstruction, pavement repair, sign installation and roadway lighting work.
Ramp closures and detours will include:
For the ramps connecting northbound I-294 to westbound I-290, traffic will be routed to eastbound I-290 to Mannheim Road and then through the interchange to access westbound I-290.
For the ramps connecting southbound I-294 to eastbound I-290, traffic will be routed to Cermak Road and through the interchange onto northbound I-294 to access eastbound I-290.
For the ramps connecting eastbound I-88 to northbound I-294 and westbound I-290, traffic will be routed to eastbound I-290 to Mannheim Road and then through the interchange to access westbound I-290.
For the ramp connecting eastbound Roosevelt Road to eastbound I-290, traffic will be routed east to northbound Mannheim Road to access eastbound I-290.
For the ramps connecting eastbound I-290 to southbound I-294, traffic will be routed to Mannheim Road and then through the interchange to westbound I-290 to southbound I-294.
For the ramps connecting northbound I-294 to eastbound Roosevelt Road, traffic will be routed to westbound Roosevelt Road to York Road and then through the interchange to access eastbound Roosevelt Road.
For the ramps connecting northbound I-294 to westbound Roosevelt Road, traffic will be routed to eastbound I-290 to southbound Mannheim Road to westbound Roosevelt Road.
In addition, the ramp connecting eastbound St. Charles Road to eastbound I-290 is scheduled to close as needed. No detour will be posted.

In addition to full closures and detours on the ramps carrying traffic from eastbound I-88 to northbound I-294 and westbound I-290, daily lane closures will continue, as needed, in April to reconstruct the center pier of the ramp.
Also, in April, overnight lane closures in both directions on I-294 will be scheduled at the interchange for pavement repair, concrete work, material deliveries and pavement striping. And on I-290 in both directions, between St. Charles Road and Butterfield Road, overnight lane closures will be scheduled, including intermittent, 15-minute full closures, for bridge reconstruction work on northbound I-294 over I-290.
All lane closures will be scheduled during overnight hours with lanes and ramps reopening ahead of the morning rush hour.
Overnight closures and detours of ramps at the I-290/I-88 Interchange at I-294 are scheduled to continue through the end of the year as needed, as well as closures on I-88.
Ongoing long-term ramp closures with detours continuing in April include the following:
Westbound I-290 to northbound I-294.
Westbound Roosevelt Road to southbound I-294.
Ramp and local road closures in this area are being coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Village of Berkeley, Village of Hillside, City of Elmhurst, Village of Oak Brook as well as local fire and police departments.
Work in 2024 at the I-290/I-88 Interchange at I-294 includes ongoing reconstruction of bridges over Roosevelt Road, I-88, Butterfield Road, the Canadian National Railroad, I-290 and Electric Avenue, as well as noisewall construction and drainage, electrical and lighting improvements.
The reconfiguration and reconstruction of the I-290/I-88 Interchange is estimated at $700-$800 million and will reduce congestion, improve safety and address operational issues, as well as infrastructure conditions as part of the Illinois Tollway’s $4 billion Central Tri-State Project. Work started in 2020 and is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2026.
Information including maps and construction updates is available on the Tollway’s website at
www.illinoistollway.com in the Projects section.
The $4 billion Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294) Project is reconstructing and widening the roadway between Balmoral Avenue and 95th Street to provide congestion relief, update old infrastructure to meet current and future transportation demand and address regional needs. This work is part of the Tollway’s Move Illinois Program. More than 220,000 vehicles use the Central Tri-State Tollway daily.

Early start due to warm spring, some overnight closures anticipated this week
CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that the rehabilitation of the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94) from the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) junction to Ohio Street will resume, weather permitting, Monday, March 11, an earlier start to the project made possible by warmer temperatures this spring. The use of alternative routes and public transportation is once again strongly encouraged, starting with some overnight lane closures anticipated next week while the work zone is put into place for the upcoming construction season.
“The Kennedy rehabilitation project is one of hundreds across the state made possible by the governor’s Rebuild Illinois capital program that IDOT is committed to delivering as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “While we understand construction can be inconvenient, we are taking advantage of the warm weather to start early. The end result will be safer, more resilient infrastructure for the region long after the cones and barricades are removed.”
The work is the second phase of the $150 million project taking place over three consecutive construction seasons. Improvements to the inbound lanes were completed last year. This year’s work will focus on the reversible express lanes and is anticipated to be completed later this fall, with efforts on the outbound Kennedy in 2025.
Advance work starts the week of March 4, weather permitting, with overnight closures of the reversible express lanes anticipated between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The following week, to safely establish the work zone for the upcoming construction season, four consecutive nights of lane and ramp closures will be required in both directions of the Kennedy and Edens expressways. By 5 a.m. each morning, ramps and lanes that were temporarily closed overnight will reopen. The reversible express lanes also will be closed starting Monday night through late fall, along with the left lane on both inbound Kennedy and Edens expressways, from just before the Kennedy/Edens junction to the reversible express lanes entrance at Montrose Avenue.
Monday, March 11
· Starting at 9 p.m., the inbound Kennedy and Edens will gradually be reduced to one lane from just before the Edens junction to Irving Park Road (Illinois 19).
· At the same time, the reversible express lanes will fully close. They are anticipated to reopen in late fall.
The following intermittent ramp closures also will take place.
Inbound Edens: Wilson Avenue
Inbound Kennedy: Montrose Avenue and Irving Park Road
Tuesday, March 12
· Starting at 9 p.m., the outbound Kennedy will be reduced to two lanes between North (Illinois 64) and Fullerton avenues.
At the same time, outbound Kennedy intermittent ramp closures between North and Fullerton avenues also will take place.
Wednesday, March 13
· Starting at 9 p.m., the inbound Kennedy will gradually be reduced to one lane from Milwaukee Avenue to Lake Street.
· At the same time, the outbound Kennedy between Madison Street and Milwaukee Avenue also will be reduced to one lane.
Thursday, March 14
· Starting at 9 p.m., the outbound Kennedy will gradually be reduced to one lane between North and Fullerton avenues.
At the same time, intermittent outbound Kennedy ramp closures between North and Fullerton avenues will also take place.
The work and schedule are highly weather dependent. If any overnight work is canceled due to the weather, it will be rescheduled to the first available night(s) that conditions allow. In that event, details, schedules and impacts to traffic will be updated and shared with the public.
Additionally, beginning the week of March 11, bridge cleaning, painting and LED light installation at Hubbard’s Cave will require closure of the left lane on the inbound Kennedy from Chicago Avenue to Lake Street and on the outbound Kennedy from the Jane Byrne Interchange to Grand Avenue. The westbound Randolph Street ramp to the outbound Kennedy will close and is anticipated to reopen later this fall. During that time, motorists should follow the posted detour. Drivers also should expect various overnight shoulder and intermittent lane closures in both directions of the expressway, between Milwaukee Avenue and Randolph Street. This year’s work is anticipated to be completed later this fall, with efforts shifting to the outbound Kennedy through Hubbard’s Cave in 2025.
Motorists should expect significant delays and allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits, slow down and be on the alert for workers and equipment. Traveling during non-peak hours and utilizing mass transit – Chicago Transit Authority’s Blue Line and Metra’s Union Pacific Northwest Line, in particular, as well as Pace – are recommended throughout the duration of the project, if possible.
Made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois, the overall $150 million Kennedy project will rehabilitate 36 bridge structures and the reversible express lane system, replace overhead sign structures, as well as install new signage and modernized LED lights. The improvements also include pavement patching and structural painting. Hubbard’s Cave, from Grand Avenue to Wayman Street, will be painted and new LED lighting installed.
The Kennedy Expressway officially opened in November 1960, with the last major rehabilitation completed in 1994. The existing reversible express lane system, which controls the traffic flow reversal of the center express lanes, was installed in 1996 to replace the original 1960s system. The project will improve safety, traffic flow and reliability for the more than 275,000 motorists who use the expressway each day.
