Jane Byrne Interchange finale in sight.
Illinois Department of Transportation engineers are promising a 50% improvement in traffic delays as the interminable Jane Byrne Interchange rebuild wraps up.
"This interchange serves over 400,000 motorists every day" and is close to communities, churches, schools, the University of Illinois at Chicago and homes, she said. "We're trying to get it done as soon as possible. There's an outside chance that some of them will reopen Friday morning, but really, we're playing a weather game this time of year," Schumacher noted.
IDOT officials acknowledged the agency set a"pretty ambitious" timetable in their desire to get the work done expeditiously. Reality also hit with complications that included unstable soil, abandoned water tunnels that turned out to be active, lengthy utility relocations and the COVID-19 pandemic.
