Fresh off the 10-year-long Jane Byrne InterchangeProject, now comes another doozy a major, multiyear rehab project of a7.5-mile stretch of the Kennedy Expressway. In addition to the bridge work, crews will also repair potholes, patch the roadway and paint Hubbards Cave. The Kennedy also includes reversible lanes to carry rush-hour loads that are heavier in one direction than the other, an idea first tried on North Lake Shore Drive, but removed in the late 1970s. The Stakeholder Involvement Plan (SIP) includes: Potential Noise Barrier Voting Results (8/7/14), Project Working Group Meeting #3 (01/21/14), Project Working Group Meeting #2 (9/6/13), Project Working Group Meeting #1 (4/29/13). The freeway runs in a southeast-northwest direction between the central city neighborhood of the West Loop and O'Hare International Airport. Left turns at the intersection will continue to be prohibited. The overall improvement involves multiple contracts to be built over several years; I-90 Eastbound, I-90 Westbound, and a Noise wall contract. The construction, which snarled traffic on the Kennedy weeks ago, will start at 10 p.m. March 26, resulting in lane closures and expressway stops overnight throughout the weekend, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.
