The Illinois Tollway is reconstructing and widening 17.6 miles of the south Tri-State Tollway (I-294/I-80) from IL Route 394 in South Holland, where the Tri-State meets the Kingery Expressway, to 95th Street in Oak Lawn. Phase I, from IL Route 394 to 167th Street, was completed in late 2006; four lanes are now open in both directions. Advance work for Phase II, from 159th Street to 95th Street, was completed in late 2007. Mainline rebuild & widen work will begin southbound in 2008 and northbound in 2009. This project is part of the Tollway's $5.3 billion Congestion-Relief Program to reduce congestion.
Latest Construction Information:
Off-road work for Phase II from 159 th Street to 95 th Street was completed in late November for work to construct retaining walls, widen mainline bridge foundations, repair crossroad bridge substructures, and to complete drainage work in advance of mainline roadway work. All mainline traffic is shifted back to the standard configuration. No traffic will be on the shoulder during winter.

Local Bridge Impacts:
Fourteen local crossroads that run underneath the Tollway were impacted by construction in 2007, with most crossroads maintained with the same number of lanes for work to widen bridge abutments and repair bridge substructures. When mainline work begins in 2008, overnight closures may be scheduled on local crossroads to accommodate overhead bridge deck work.
Crossroads impacted: 147th Street, Kedzie Avenue, Rexford Rd, Crawford Rd, Midlothian Turnpike, 135th Street, 131st Street, Ridgeland Avenue, 115th Street, 111th Street, 107th Street, Southwest Highway, Harlem Avenue, and 95th Street.
