This project will reconstruct the interchange to reduce weaving movements, replace loop ramps with higher-capacity directional ramps, and reduce crashes. I-90 is a major east-west transportation route and is an important link in the nations transportation system. The oldest parts of the existing system are also the most affected by chronically unreliable travel times and in some places have major safety problems, both of which can be addressed through design and investments in active traffic management as part of the reconstruction. Some of the loop ramps would be replaced with higher-capacity directional ramps to reduce crashes and improve flow. 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. More information on CSS can be found here. Construction is expected to be completed this fall, with all lanes and ramps reopening and the express lanes resuming normal operations. Its last major project occurred in 1994. In some cases, adding capacity through new managed lanes is also appropriate.

Project engineers told NBC 5 traffic reporter Kye Martin that first to close will be the two left inbound lanes, which will close from March to July. Its last major project occurred in 1994. Phase I (or the project Study) consists of developing the project scope, environmental studies and preliminary design of a project. Jane Byrne Interchange Reconstruction, RSP 33 Motorists should also expect various ramp closures. The agency said the project is intended to improve safety, traffic flow, and reliability for more than 275,000 motorists who use the expressway each day. Loop ramps and weaving movements cause congestion and high crash rates. The third stage will see the reversible express lanes open in the outbound direction while two main outbound lanes of the roadway will be closed at a time.

It also plans to patch the expressway pavement in that stretch, paint the Hubbards Cave, replace overhead sign structures and replace the access system to the express lanes. A: The I-90 from I-190 to IL 43 Study is anticipated to have a design approval by March, 2014. The project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2023. It carries an estimated 275,000 motorists daily. A latex concrete will then be installed to help give the bridges another 25 years of life. The Problem Statement summarizes the identified issues and concerns for the project. Lefty reliever Brandon Hughes also has been on a later game schedule after a heavy workload last season. "The project will improve safety, traffic flow and reliability for the more than 275,000 motorists who use the expressway each day," the agency said. This section of I-90 is adjacent to the Village of Harwood Heights, Village of Norridge, City of Park Ridge, and the 41st Ward of the City of Chicago.

In future project studies on these segments, adding capacity should be considered, and CMAPs evaluation suggests that in many cases this capacity would be beneficial. BUILDING THE EXPRESSWAY: Construction of the Northwest Expressway began in 1955 in the area west of the Chicago Loop, where construction crews began demolition and created detours for east-west streets to make way for the grade separations and connecting entrance and exit ramps. STEP 1: Analyze Existing Conditions The study team will evaluate existing conditions in the corridor to identify deficiencies and problems.
