Traffic Alert: Ramp Closures Continue at Route 31 Interchange
The week-long ramp closure is part of the I-90 Roadway and Bridge Rehabilitation Project.
The entrance ramp to the eastbound Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) from northbound IL Route 31 will close for one week beginning on Wednesday, August 17, for ramp reconstruction work. This work is part of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) Roadway and Bridge Rehabilitation Projects between the Elgin Toll Plaza and Barrington Road.
The IL Route 31 ramp closure is scheduled from 8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17, through 8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 23, and a detour route will be posted. Northbound IL Route 31 traffic will be directed east on Higgins Road and south on IL Route 25 to reach the eastbound entrance ramp to I-90.
The exit ramp from eastbound I-90 to northbound IL Route 31 and the eastbound entrance ramp from southbound IL Route 31 have been closed for a week for ramp reconstruction work and are scheduled to reopen by midnight tonight.
The Illinois Tollway is resurfacing the 50-year-old section of I-90 between U.S. Route 20 and Genoa Road and between the Elgin Toll Plaza and Barrington Road to provide a new, smooth surface and extend the life of the roadway. Roadway improvements also include rehabilitation of 25 bridge structures on I-90. Work is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
