Inbound Kennedy stage change begins May 15 - reminder
Major travel delays are anticipated, alternative routes are strongly encouraged. 

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that as part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94), from the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) junction to Ohio Street, a stage change is scheduled to take place beginning, weather permitting, Monday, May 15. 

To accommodate bridge work at Diversey Avenue, the reversible express lanes exit at Diversey Avenue will be closed for approximately eight weeks. During that time, the express lanes will remain open in the inbound direction and motorists will not be able to exit them until Ohio Street. Drivers should continue to expect lane shifts and overnight lane closure, along with various ramp closures. Later this summer, painting and the installation of new LED lighting will begin on inbound Hubbard’s Cave, between Ohio and Lake streets. 

The inbound Kennedy work is anticipated to be completed later this fall, with all lanes and ramps reopening and the express lanes resuming normal operations.

The Houbolt Road Extension Opening to Traffic April 27
Joliet, Ill., April 25, 2023 – Houbolt Road Extension JV, LLC (HRE-JV), a joint venture between United Bridge Partners (UBP) and CenterPoint Properties, proudly announces that the new Houbolt Road Extension will open to traffic on Thursday, April 27 at 10:00 a.m. CDT.

The Houbolt Road Extension creates a direct route between I-80 and the CenterPoint Intermodal Center (CIC), which officials say will significantly reduce congestion on local roads and shorten long routes to the highway, saving drivers time, miles, and money. The CIC is the nation’s largest inland port, with as many as 20,000 trucks passing through it daily. This new bridge will help truckers maximize driver hours while creating a new avenue for companies to optimize their resources.

Project leaders also say this shorter route into the CIC will have positive environmental impacts by reducing vehicle miles traveled and idling. Leaders say the Houbolt Road Extension will reduce the CIC’s carbon footprint annually. Employees within the CIC will enjoy shorter commutes, while those traveling local roads will experience substantially less truck traffic.

The privately financed project involved designing and building a 1.5-mile-long highway extension, including a 0.4-mile-long bridge over the Des Plaines River. HRE-JV financed and constructed the project and will operate and maintain the bridge while collecting tolls under a 99-year lease agreement with the City of Joliet. Construction commenced on March 8, 2021, and was completed in just over two years.

“United Bridge Partners is honored to serve the Joliet community by funding, building, and operating the Houbolt Road Extension,” shared UBP president and CEO Doug Witt. “Teamed with CenterPoint Properties, together we were able to rebuild and enhance the road and bridge infrastructure in Illinois. We are proud to open a new road to economic growth and prosperity that will advance the entire region for years to come.”

“Over the past 20 years, the CIC has grown into an invaluable part of the supply chains of many of the world’s leading companies. A new, third access point to the Park is critical, and we’re excited to open the extension to manage traffic within CIC productively,” said Michael Murphy, CenterPoint’s chief development officer. “The HRE is a shining example of what can be accomplished when local, state, and federal entities partner with private companies to impact communities positively. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationships with community groups and leaders in the cities surrounding the CIC,” Murphy finished.

The Houbolt Road Extension uses an all-electronic system that accepts toll payments through I-PASS, E-ZPass, and Pay by Plate to keep traffic flowing smoothly. The tolling gantry is located between the bridge and US Route 6; toll rates are tiered based on vehicle class, which is determined by vehicle height, width, and length. For drivers paying with a transponder, the rate for Class 1/passenger/light vehicles is $2.00, Class 2/medium vehicles are $4.00, and Class 3/large vehicles are $8.00. Pay-by-Plate rates include an additional $3.50 administrative fee for each crossing.

HRE-JV partnered with Granite/Kraemer – a Joint Venture for engineering, procurement, and construction; Burns and McDonnell for engineering services; TranSystems as owner representative; and A-to-Be USA for the tolling collection system.

Major Rehabilitation of the Kennedy Begins March 20
3/23/23 UPDATE: 

To accommodate pavement markings and setting up the work zone, the mid-gate at Diversey will be closed tonight, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, March 24. During that time, motorists will not be able to exit the express lanes until Ohio Street. 
 
Travel delays are anticipated – alternative routes are strongly encouraged 
 
CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that a rehabilitation of the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94), from the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) junction to Ohio Street, is scheduled to begin, weather permitting, Monday, March 20. Major travel delays are anticipated, alternative routes are strongly encouraged.
 
The estimated $150 million project consists of rehabilitating 36 bridge structures and the Reversible Lane Access Control (REVLAC) system, replacing overhead sign-structures, installing new signage and modernized LED lights, pavement patching and structural painting. Additionally, Hubbard’s Cave, from Grand Avenue to Wayman Street, will be painted and new LED lighting installed.
 
The work will take place over three consecutive construction seasons, broken down into the following three stages:
 
Stage I – Inbound Kennedy
 
To help minimize the impact to traffic the reversible express lanes will remain open in the inbound direction, while two mainline inbound lanes will be closed at a time. Motorists should expect lane shifts and overnight lane closure, along with various ramp closures. Later this summer, painting and the installation of new LED lighting will begin on inbound Hubbard’s Cave, between Ohio and Lake streets. Construction is anticipated to be completed later this fall, with all lanes and ramps reopening and the express lanes resuming normal operations.
 
Stage II – Reversible Express Lanes
 
The reversible express lanes will be closed to accommodate rehabilitation of the REVLAC system and bridge structures, along with pavement patching. In addition, mainline lane closures will be needed to accommodate painting and the installation of new LED lighting in both directions of Hubbard’s Cave, between Ohio and Lake streets. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2024 and be completed in fall 2024.
 
Stage III – Outbound Kennedy
 
The reversible express lanes will remain open in the outbound direction, while two mainline outbound lanes will be closed at a time. Lane shifts and overnight lane closure, along with various ramp closures will be needed to complete the work. Additionally, new LED lighting installation and painting will be completed on outbound Hubbard’s Cave, between Ohio and Lake streets. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2025 and be completed in late fall 2025.
 
Motorists should expect significant delays and allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment. Public transportation and traveling during non-peak hours are recommended if possible.
 
The Kennedy Expressway officially opened in November 1960, with the last major rehabilitation completed in 1994. The project will improve safety, traffic flow and reliability for the more than 275,000 motorists who use the expressway each day.
 
Statewide, over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 2,500 miles of roads and nearly 10 million square feet of bridges as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Three of Rebuild Illinois included approximately $8.6 billion of improvements statewide on 4,422 miles of highway, 412 bridges and 621 safety improvements.
