Can you spot the 19 bridges? We all know this project was a major undertaking, but did you know it included 32 miles of expressway lanes, too?

Check this out! The newly reconstructed interchange has MANY benefits and upgrades, but this one is quite impressive!

Noticed any extra lanes these days? 😏
Pretty sweet, huh? All lanes are OPEN and traffic is moving beautifully through the interchange – just one of the many benefits the newly reconstructed interchange brings.

We have GREAT news! The new Jane Byrne Interchange is OPEN – including all northbound and southbound lanes! This week we had an official ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening and the benefits the newly reconstructed interchange brings.

COMING SOON! Weather permitting, all lanes will fully reopen to traffic by 5 a.m. tomorrow, substantially completing the new and improved Jane Byrne Interchange!

To prepare for the opening, overnight lane closures are scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. tonight.

Have you heard? The Adams Street and Jackson Boulevard bridges over the Kennedy (I-90/94) are OPEN! The exit ramps to these bridges from the inbound Kennedy are also open!

Both new bridges are wider with two travel lanes and 10-foot-wide sidewalks, along with a dedicated bike lane on the Jackson Boulevard bridge. The entrance ramps from the bridges to the outbound Kennedy are anticipated to reopen in late December. Once open, they will connect traffic to the northbound collector-distributor road that also provides access to the ramps to Washington Boulevard, Madison Street, and Lake Street.

🚧CONSTRUCTION UPDATE🚧
The ramp from westbound Ida B. Wells Drive to northbound I-90/94 and the Canal Street entrance ramp closed this morning and will reopen in early November.
