Outbound Kennedy Lanes Set To Fully Reopen By Sunday After Overnight Work

Express lanes stay outbound-only, with ramp work extending through October toward a Thanksgiving finish.

Overview

  • IDOT is staging overnight lane reductions and intermittent ramp closures through Oct. 4 to remove work zones and complete repairs.
  • All outbound mainline lanes are scheduled to be open by 10 a.m. Sunday, when the Damen and Augusta/Milwaukee ramps also reopen.
  • Sections are reopening each morning this week, progressing from Diversey to Damen to North before the final Ohio/Ontario-to-North segment.
  • The reversible express lanes remain outbound-only and the mid-gate entrances and exits will stay closed until the project is completed.
  • Wilson Avenue’s exit closes Oct. 6 for about two weeks, several outbound ramps reopen on Oct. 1 and Oct. 5, Division follows mid-October, and the overall project remains on pace for a Thanksgiving completion subject to weather.
