This work is anticipated to be completed by Sunday, Oct. 9. After the work is completed, traffic will return to staged construction, with one lane in each direction and left turns prohibited at the intersection. The Problem Statement summarizes the identified issues and concerns for the project. Some of the loop ramps would be replaced with higher-capacity directional ramps to reduce crashes and improve flow. It is not assumed that all existing lanes will be tolled as part of this project, but over the longer term, when the adjacent general purpose lanes are reconstructed as part of I-55 Stevenson Expressway Reconstruction (RSP 137), tolling should be implemented on all lanes.

This could lead to an increase in traffic volumes both on the Tollway and in the project corridor. While this segment has immediate needs, and IDOT will soon be seeking design approval, a full examination of the I-80 corridor to include prospects for developing managed lanes, including truck-only lanes and full facility tolling, is recommended.
