This project has been studied but requires additional comprehensive analysis, including studying opportunities to support future transit service. The purpose of the meeting was to review the previously defined deficiencies, present the potential improvements for the project and gather stakeholder input and feedback. A: Continue to check the project website for updates and view the Public Involvement page. Lastly, it connects to Interstate 294 (I-294) which runs north-south along the western boundary of Chicago. $150 million, 2-year rehab of Kennedy Expressway begins March 20.

The scheduled work is set to take place on the expressway from the Edens Expressway junction to Ohio Street. Stakeholder involvement is critical to the success of this project and an integral part of the Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) process. The overall improvement involves multiple contracts to be built over several years; I-90 Eastbound, I-90 Westbound, and a Noise wall contract. IDOT will hold a meeting with the Project Working Group (PWG), which will be comprised of mayors or other representatives of the communities, to aid in developing the Problem Statement and the Purpose and Need.

During that time, a posted detour will direct traffic to Cicero Avenue (Illinois 50), 135th Street and Harlem Avenue (Illinois 43). Note: IDOT projects typically have three distinct phases. Both the capacity and reconstruction elements of the project are considered constrained in ON TO 2050. The upcoming rehab project is set to begin a little more than eight weeks after the Jane Byrne Interchange reopened after 10 years of construction, which included multiple setbacks in its completion date. Phase II (Design) consists of refining the design to develop contract plans and land acquisition. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is studying potential highway improvements to Interstate 90 (I-90) between the junction of the Jane Addams Tollway (I-90) and Interstate 190 (I-190) on the west and Illinois Route 43 (Harlem Avenue) on the east -- a distance of approximately 2 miles. "Lane shifts and overnight lane closure, along with various ramp closures will be needed to complete the work," the Illinois Department of Transportation said. Context Sensitive Solutions is an interdisciplinary approach that seeks effective, multimodal transportation solutions by working with stakeholders to develop, build and maintain cost-effective transportation facilities which fit into and reflect the projects surroundings its context.

The estimated $150 million project will include rehabilitating of 36 bridge structures and the Reversible Lane Access Control (REVLAC) system, replacing overhead sign-structures, installing new signage and modernized LED lights, pavement patching and structural painting. The study is being led by IDOT in close coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Additional weekend closures will be required to complete the work. This work is anticipated to be completed by Sunday, Oct. 9. The project will be delivered under three construction contracts with the following limits: The suggested MOT plans can be divided into a pre-stage and two main construction stages along I-90. Lane reductions (other than the exception noted above) will only be allowed during nighttime off-peak hours in order to minimize adverse impacts on traffic flow along I-90 during construction. Riders on this service would benefit as free users of the managed lane. This section of I-90 experiences major congestion due to the merging and diverging of two major highways (I-90 and I-190) and the presence of a busy interchange at Cumberland Avenue. Jane Byrne Interchange Reconstruction, RSP 33 The Kennedy Expressway opened in 1960 and its last major rehab was completed in 1994.
