Traffic alert: Kennedy pavement repairs begin this weekend
Posted July 21, 2023 1:00 am
Drivers traveling on the outbound Kennedy Expressway lanes near downtown Chicago should expect lane and ramp closures this weekend.
Illinois Department of Transportation crews are repairing pavement Friday night through 5 a.m. Monday.
One lane will be closed on the outbound Kennedy collector-distributor road that leads to ramps at Washington Boulevard plus Randolph, Madison and Lake streets, although a second lane will remain open.
The outbound Kennedy exit ramp at Madison Street will also be closed.
Detours will be posted and drivers are reminded to follow posted speeds and watch for construction workers.
The work is part of the Jane Byrne Interchange project, which was substantially completed in late 2022.
