Kennedy Expressway construction closures start Monday evening

Lane closures on the Kennedy Expressway will begin Monday evening as the final phase of construction starts. This phase will focus on the outbound side from the Edens Expressway junction to Ohio Street. The reversible lanes will shift to an outbound flow, with two mainline outbound lanes closed at a time. The mid-gate entrance and exit will also be closed, affecting drivers using the express lanes. IDOT anticipates the construction will last until Fall 2025, with completion expected by Thanksgiving 2025. Delays are likely to increase during this period.
