The Jackson Boulevard and Adams Street bridges over the Kennedy Expressway have reopened as the major work of the sprawling Jane Byrne Interchange reconstruction nears completion.
Later this month, the Jackson ramp and the Adams ramp to the outbound Kennedy are scheduled to reopen, providing access to Washington Boulevard and Madison and Lake streets, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.
"Substantial completion means travel lanes, entrance and exits ramps will be open, and no extended daytime lane closures," IDOT said. "Weather permitting, we are on track to meet that timeline. Due to a variety of factors, including abandoning an expedited timetable to minimize impact on daily traffic, project planners later estimated it would be finished in late 2022 at a cost of $794 million.
The Jackson and Adams bridges, which opened Thursday, are wider with two travel lanes and 10-foot-wide sidewalks, along with a dedicated bike lane on the Jackson Boulevard bridge, according to the IDOT.
