The Kennedy Expressway construction project is expected to cause headaches for drivers for months.
ABC7 Chicago Digital TeamKennedy Expressway construction crews will start closing the reversible express lanes on Monday night, and it's expected to impact Chicago traffic.Late Monday night, lane closures, both inbound and express, ushered in the latest phase of the Kennedy Expressway rehab project.
After phase one last year focused on inbound lanes, this second phase of the three-year $150 million project centers on the express lanes, which are now closed until late fall."When it's completely done, it's definitely going to have not only improved surface, but you're going to also have a more reliable surface," said IDOT spokesperson Maria Castaneda.
At the same time, the reversible express lanes will fully close. They are anticipated to reopen in late fall. At the same time, the outbound Kennedy between Madison Street and Milwaukee Avenue also will be reduced to one lane.Starting at 9 p.m., the outbound Kennedy will gradually be reduced to one lane between North and Fullerton avenues.
Also, beginning the week of March 11, bridge cleaning, painting and LED light installation at Hubbard's Cave will require closure of the left lane on the inbound Kennedy from Chicago Avenue to Lake Street and on the outbound Kennedy from the Jane Byrne Interchange to Grand Avenue, IDOT said.
