To help minimize the impact on traffic, the reversible express lanes will remain open in the inbound direction. This project has been studied but requires additional comprehensive analysis, including studying opportunities to support future transit service. There is a need to evaluate a long-term funding strategy for this project, which could include tolling.

John F Kennedy Expressway (I-90 and I-94) - Chicago Area Roads and Exits PWG Meeting #2 (September 6, 2013) The second Project Working Group (PWG) meeting for the Phase I Study of I-90 from I-190 to IL 43 (Harlem Avenue) was held on September 6, 2013 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Roden Public Library in Chicago. The Kennedy Expressway officially opened in November 1960, and its last major rehabilitation was completed in 1994. The work is anticipated to be completed by late October, weather permitting. Some mainline lane closures will be needed to accommodate painting and the installation of new lighting in both directions of Hubbards Cave.

Resurfacing of frontage roads (Higgins Road from east of Cumberland Avenue to N. Oriole Avenue, and W. Bryn Mawr Avenue from N. Oriole Avenue to N. Harlem Avenue.). The new ramp configurations and added lanes are expected to improve safety and significantly reduce crashes for all users. The second stage is focused on the Reversible Express Lane. It suffers significant safety problems because of several left-hand ramps. The purpose of the I-90 Improvements Study is to improve safety and traffic operations, as well as provide an appropriate transition between the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), I-190, and the Kennedy Expressway (I-90). Public Meeting A public meeting was held at the start of the study to offer opportunities for interested parties to provide input into community context, transportation issues, the project problem statement, and the development of possible solutions. All three components will be tolled. The western segment of I-80 from Ridge Road to US 30 in Will County is in critical need of improvement, with failing pavement conditions and the bridge over the Des Plaines River requiring replacement. Members of the PWG provide input on the study, attend PWG meetings, and collaborate with the PSG.

Using the reversible lanes to offset lane closures will help,said transportation expert Joseph P. Schwieterman, who teaches at DePaul University. While this segment has immediate needs, and IDOT will soon be seeking design approval, a full examination of the I-80 corridor to include prospects for developing managed lanes, including truck-only lanes and full facility tolling, is recommended. Then, daytime lane closures can be expected to complete the work.
