Inbound Kennedy ramp closures
CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that as part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the inbound Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94), from the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) junction to Ohio Street, ramp closures are scheduled to take place beginning, weather permitting, Monday, Nov. 13. 

The closures are needed to accommodate ongoing bridge rehabilitation and ramp repairs. Starting at 6 a.m. Monday, the following ramps will close:
Current ramp closures:
Motorists should follow the posted detours. 

Additional ramp closures with detours will be required to complete the project. Details, schedules and impacts to traffic will be shared in advance, closer to the individual closure dates. 

The overall inbound Kennedy project is anticipated to be completed late fall, with all lanes and ramps reopening and the express lanes resuming normal operations. The express lanes will be worked on in 2024, with the project focused on the outbound Kennedy in 2025. 

Motorists should continue to expect lane shifts, overnight lane closures and significant delays and to 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 and be on the alert for workers and equipment. Public transportation and traveling during non-peak hours are recommended if possible. 

For more information on the project, visit https://idot.illinois.gov/projects/Interstate-90-Kennedy-Bridge-Study. The website features project details, maps, photos and fact sheets. The public can email questions to DOT.KennedyRehab@illinois.gov. For systemwide traffic and road conditions, visit www.gettingaroundillinois.com. You also can follow IDOT on Facebook and Twitter.

Overnight and Long-Term Ramp Closures Continue in November as Part of Work to Reconfigure the I-290/I-88 Interchange at I-294

DOWNERS GROVE, IL – A new long-term closure and detour is scheduled to begin this week at the I-290/I-88 Interchange at the Tri-State Tollway (I-294), along with ongoing overnight closures and detours of additional ramps through November as work continues to reconstruct and reconfigure the interchange. Delays are expected.

In addition, the ramp connecting northbound I-294 to westbound Roosevelt Road, which has been closed since May, is scheduled to reopen.

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.

Beginning overnight Friday, November 4, the ramp connecting northbound I-294 to eastbound I-290 is scheduled to close through the end of the year for roadway and ramp reconstruction work. A detour will be posted routing traffic through the St. Charles Road Interchange to access eastbound I-290. The ramp is scheduled to remain closed through the end of the year.

 

In addition, one night of single lane closures will be needed on northbound I-294 between Roosevelt Road and I-88 to prepare for the ramp closure.

If the work cannot be completed as scheduled, a backup closure will be scheduled during the week of November 6.

The long-term closures of the ramps carrying westbound I-290 to northbound I-294 and westbound Roosevelt Road to southbound I-294 will continue in November.

In November, temporary overnight interchange ramp closures for reconstruction work will include:
