Description
Description | The three-year, $169 million rehabilitation of the Kennedy Expressway involved replacing 7.5 miles of deteriorated pavement between Ohio Street and the Edens Expressway, including two dozen entrance and exit ramps. It also included pavement and structural repairs on 36 bridges, new signage and lighting, and modernizing the gates that control traffic in the express lanes. The project began in 2023 with work on the inbound lanes, upgrades to reversible express lanes in 2024, and the final phase involved refurbishing outbound lanes heading from downtown Chicago toward O’Hare International Airport. The project finished a month ahead of a Thanksgiving deadline but was about 13% over budget. |
