I-88 Reagan Memorial Tollway project—Oak Brook, Ill.

The Illinois Tollway is taking on the task of rebuilding and widening the I-88 Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway between I-290 and York Road in the city of Oak Brook in the Chicago suburbs. The two-year project also includes rebuilding and widening the York Road Bridge, repairing and widening of the I-88 bridges over Roosevelt Road, improvements on the ramps connecting I-88 and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294), and noisewall construction adjacent to residential areas. Roads & Bridges visited the site in mid-July when crews were paving westbound lanes on I-88 about 100 yd from York Road. The hope is to have the current phase complete before Thanksgiving. Traffic will shift and work will begin on the eastbound lanes in early 2019.
