Daily lane closures for bridge work over I-90 continue through month in Kane County

Motorists should expect continued daily lane closures on Interstate 90 in Kane County as crews work on two bridges, the Illinois Tollway announced this week.

The temporary closures are expected to last through September while repair work progresses on two Kane County Jane Addams Memorial Tollway crossroad bridges.

The repair work includes deck sealing and pavement, structural and bridge joint repairs. The tollway will also schedule repairs for the U.S. Route 20 interchange ramp bridges.

Construction signage has been posted for the lane closures. Updated construction information will also be available on the tollway website under “Daily Construction Alert.” The repair work is weather dependent.

Motorists should expect daily lane closures for Brier Hill and Hennig roads from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane with flaggers for bidirectional traffic. The construction also required shoulder and lane closures.

Construction zone speed limits remain in effect. Drivers should watch for changing traffic patterns and use caution when workers are present. The “Move Over Law” also required motorists to change lanes or slow down and use caution when passing vehicles with activated hazard lights. Drivers must move or slow down if flashing lights are activated.

The U.S. Route 20 interchange traffic shifts are also underway.

The repair work begins on the bridges connected to eastbound I-90. Traffic has moved to the interchange’s right shoulder.

The closures are by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Kane County, Huntley, Hampshire, and local police and fire departments.
