  • Second Weekend of Jane Byrne Closures Start Friday
    Keith Spencer Subject: FW: Second Weekend of Jane Byrne Closures Start Friday Second Weekend of Jane Byrne Closures Start Friday The Illinois Department of Transportation is reminding motorists that the second of four weekends of lane closures on the expressway system surrounding the Jane Byrne Interchange in Chicago takes place starting Friday evening. This weekend's closures will impact the same routes and follow the same schedule as last weekend. "While we understand these closures are an inconvenience, the public's cooperation has been outstanding as well as a critical part of making this project a success," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. "We continue to stress that Chicago remains open for business. But if you are near the downtown area this weekend, you need to plan accordingly, follow the detours, expect delays and look for alternate routes. Public transportation is highly recommended." The closures are necessary for the installation of steel beams that will support the deck of the new flyover bridge linking the inbound Dan Ryan Expressway (westbound Interstate 90/94) to the outbound Eisenhower Expressway (westbound Interstate 290), part of the larger overhaul of the Jane Byrne Interchange. A time-lapse video from the work that took place last weekend can be viewed at IDOT's YouTube channel and on the project website at www.circleinterchange.org. The following ramps and lanes will be closed, weather permitting: Inbound Congress Parkway (eastbound I-290) at the Byrne Interchange will close at 10 p.m. Friday. Traffic can still access the I-90/94 exit ramps. o A detour will direct traffic to the outbound Dan Ryan's Roosevelt Road exit, Jefferson Street, Harrison Street and Wells Street to connect with Congress Parkway.

  • FHWA Value Pricing Pilot Program Application for Integrating & Financing Transit with Managed Lanes
    FHWA Value Pricing Pilot Program Application for Integrating & Financing Transit With Managed Lanes A. Background 1. The Illinois Tollway System The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (“the Illinois Tollway”) operates a system of user-fee funded toll highways in northern Illinois that includes the Chicago suburban area. The Illinois Tollway system consists of approximately 286 miles of limited access highways, all of which are part of the Interstate Highway System. The Illinois Tollway network includes the Jane Addams Memorial (I-90), Tri-State (I-94/294), Ronald Reagan Memorial (I-88), and Veterans Memorial (I-355) Tollways. A new 12.5-mile southern extension to the Veterans Memorial Tollway opened to traffic in November 2007. Figure 1 shows a map of Tollway routes. Figure 1: Illinois Tollway Routes The Illinois Tollway extends into a service area consisting of twelve counties; six counties in the Chicago metropolitan area (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will) and six adjoining counties (Boone, DeKalb, Lee, Ogle, Whiteside and Winnebago). The twelve counties of the Tollway service area had a combined 2000 population of 8.6 million, mostly living within the six counties of the Chicago metropolitan area.
