Transportationtransportation City of Elmhurst Comprehensive Plan TransporTATion Elmhurst’s transportation system consists of an extensive roadway network, including direct access to Interstate High- ways I-290, I-294, and I-88, an extensive commuter rail and bus transit system, as well as a well-connected pedestrian and bike network. This transportation network allows for easy and accessible travel within the City and excellent con- nections to the surrounding metropolitan area. Elmhurst’s interstate highway and commuter rail access are among its strongest assets, making it a very desirable community for living and conducting business. Therefore, maintain- ing a well-functioning and efficient transportation system is critical to sustaining the high quality-of-life in the com- munity. A review of existing conditions, including average daily traffic and transit ridership history, formed the basis for the development of the transportation framework and functional street classification.

Two Ramps at Jane Byrne Interchange to Open
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Aug. 28, 2020 Maria Castaneda 312.447.1919 Guy Tridgell 312.343.1731 Two Ramps at Jane Byrne Interchange to Open Ike to Kennedy finishes a month ahead of schedule CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that two reconstructed ramps will open at the Jane Byrne Interchange. Originally slated to open in October, the ramp from inbound Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290) to the outbound Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94) will open, weather permitting, Wednesday, Sept. 2, one month ahead of schedule. The ramp from outbound Ida B. Wells Drive to the outbound Kennedy opens, weather permitting, the week of Sept. 14. “The early completion of the Ike to Kennedy ramp is great progress,” said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “The new ramps will improve traffic flow and help reduce delays for the more than 40,000 vehicles that use them daily. As work continues, we ask for the public’s continued patience, to stay alert, slow down and give their undivided attention going through this and all other work zones.” By 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, weather permitting, the ramp from the inbound Eisenhower to the outbound Kennedy will open to traffic and the Taylor Street “Texas U-turn” detour, used during construction, will be closed. Also, prior to the morning rush, the inbound Eisenhower reverts to its original configuration, with the two left lanes continuing to Ida B. Wells Drive, the third lane to access the new ramp to the outbound Kennedy, and the right lane to the outbound Dan Ryan Expressway (Interstate 90/94). -
Press Release
State of Illinois Bruce Rauner, Governor Illinois Department of Transportation Randall S. Blankenhorn, Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: November 27, 2017 Gianna Urgo 312.814.4693 Guy Tridgell 312.793.4199 Public Meeting for Updated I-55 Managed Lanes Project CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation will host a public meeting Dec. 6 to share updates and collect feedback on proposed changes to the Interstate 55 managed lanes project. The department recently updated the project plans to include a second managed lane in each direction of I-55 between Interstate 294 (Tri-State Tollway) and Interstate 90/94 (Dan Ryan Expressway). The meeting will be in an open-house format at the following time and location: Wednesday, Dec. 6 4 – 7 p.m. Toyota Park Stadium Club 7000 Harlem Ave. Bridgeview, Ill. 60455 The state received federal approval in 2016 to build one managed lane in each direction of I-55 between Interstate 355 near Bolingbrook to I-90/94 in Chicago. The revised project proposes to add the second managed lane north of the Tri-State Tollway within the existing IDOT right of way. The additional capacity will make it easier to maintain consistent, reliable speeds and travel times for all I-55 users. No funding has been identified for construction, but IDOT continues to pursue the project as a public-private partnership. Exhibits will be on display and an audio-visual presentation will be shown continuously during the meeting. Project team members will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. Written comments can be submitted at the meeting, mailed afterward or submitted via the project website www.i55managedlaneproject.org. -

Morgan Street is the first of the nine major bridges crossing the expressway system near downtown Chicago that are being rebuilt as part of Governor Pat Quinn’s $420 million reconstruction of the Jane Byrne Interchange. “Commuters, local residents and business owners will start to see benefits immediately with the new Morgan Street bridge opening,” Acting Transportation Secretary Erica Borggren said. “This is a major milestone for the Jane Byrne Interchange reconstruction. We appreciate the continued patience and look forward to many more improvements to come.” Construction started in September 2013 to remove and replace Morgan Street over Interstate 290 (Eisenhower Expressway) and the Chicago Transit Authority’s Blue Line. The longer bridge includes additional space under Morgan Street to accommodate the other improvements planned as part of overhaul of the Jane Byrne Interchange. Other components of the rebuilt bridge include new sidewalks, modernized traffic signals and improved lighting. In addition to Morgan Street, as part of the Jane Byrne Interchange project, there are eight other cross street bridges that will be rebuilt: Taylor Street, Harrison Street, Van Buren Street, Jackson Boulevard, Adams Street, Monroe Street, Halsted Street and Peoria Street. The new bridges will enhance mobility in the area by including bike lanes, wider sidewalks and improved access to transit. -
