CHICAGO -- After years of construction, the Illinois Department of Transportation said work on the Jane Byrne Interchange is expected to wrap up this year.
"We are actually scheduled to complete major work by December of this year," said Eric Ray, IDOT District 1 area construction supervisor."That includes the northbound and southbound lanes and also the Jackson and Adams Street bridges, work on Ida B. Wells and 290 and the ramps that connect them."He said the project began back in 2013. It's taken this long to complete because of all the interstates that are connected there.
"In a city like Chicago, shutting down all the interstates to the downtown area would cripple the city. We have to keep traffic moving, and that just complicates the work," said Ray.
😂😂😂 yeah right seeing is believing
Congestion will persist
I don’t believe you.
Of all the times in the past 9 years I was stuck on that... I think only ONCE did I see any workers actually there.
Just in time to start rebuilding it again
oh it’s hard because of all the interstates there? very interesting
7 yrs later. 😖
Just like the lake shore bike path fly-over.😂😂
9 years? Feels like 20! Should be time to redo it any day now.
I hope they have a dedicated section for shootings. That way traffic can keep moving....
Yea okay
'The Loop'
Just in time to do it all over again. Also, will it still take 2 hours to get in and out of the city? Of course it will....
Should wrap up
I present to you one of the ugliest things in the city of Chicago. Congratulations for spending a ton of money and time on climate arson.
That image makes me want to puke
Disgusting
Here fixed the headline 'Chicago construction on the Jane Byrne Interchange project should wrap up this year, *IDIOT* says.'
All of that money, time, and space wasted away just to shave 5 minutes off a cagers commute
Lol 😂
Sorry but this is a terribly written news story. You just take IDOTs quote about why it has taken so long at face-value? The word 'delay' doesn't appear once. The completion of this project, if it now happens in December, remains 3+ years longer than the original completion date.
I’ll believe it when I see it
So now we have a fourth great lie all men say.
