Ohio and Ontario Street feeder ramps repair and reopening

near completion

The project involves repairs to the elevated bridges carrying Ohio and Ontario streets over the North Branch of the Chicago River, the Union Pacific Railroad, and Kingsbury Street in Chicago. The work includes replacement of expansion joints, structural steel and deck repairs, installation of a new deck overlay, and resurfacing on the elevated bridges. The project is separate from the Kennedy Expressway rehabilitation and is nearing completion after about a year-and-a-half of work and lane closures. All lanes are scheduled to reopen by the morning commute on May 29, 2026, weather permitting. Pavement patching will take place later in the summer, requiring full closures over three weekends.
