Nightly Elmhurst Ramp Closures Planned
The work is part of the project to remove the old bridge over Interstate 294, tollway said.
ELMHURST, IL – Work is set to start Monday night on the reconstruction of the Interstate 294 bridge over Lake Street and North Avenue in Elmhurst, the Illinois Tollway announced Monday.
The work will require up to two weeks of nightly closures of the ramp connecting westbound Interstate 290 to eastbound Lake Street and North Avenue and lane closures on eastbound Lake Street, the agency said.
No detours will be posted. The temporary night closures are needed to accommodate the installation of temporary pavement to create a work zone for the removal of the old bridge over Interstate 294, the agency said.
