Tollway plans ramp closures at Elmhurst Road/I-90 interchange

Ramp closures will be scheduled this weekend at the Elmhurst Road Interchange on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), tollway officials announced Tuesday.

Electronic message signs and construction signage will be put in place in advance to alert drivers to the closures and a posted detour. The closures are needed to provide a safe work zone for the removal of temporary pavement along the ramp and landscaping, as well as signage work.

The ramp connecting southbound Elmhurst Road to eastbound I-90 is scheduled to close with a posted detour beginning at 9 p.m. Friday through noon on Monday, June 1, for pavement work. The posted detour will route traffic from Elmhurst Road to Oakton Street, Wolf Road, Touhy Avenue and Lee Street to access eastbound I-90.

The ramp connecting northbound Elmhurst Road to eastbound I-90 will see intermittent full closures, each lasting 15 minutes, scheduled to begin at midnight Sunday, May 31, and end by 3 a.m. Monday, June 1, for roadway signage work. If the work cannot be completed during this time, similar closures will be scheduled for Monday night into Tuesday, June 2.
