Long-term Lane Closures Planned on I-94

In order to complete road work by the end of the summer, the Illinois Tollway is planning long-term lane closures at four North Tri-State Tollway (I-94) ramp toll plazas.

Beginning the week of April 27, the Tollway will work on repairing guardrails, barrier walls, curbs and gutters at the Buckley Road (Illinois Route 137), Townline Road (Illinois Route 60) and Half Day Road (Illinois Route 22) westbound entrance and the eastbound exit ramps on I-94.

Similar work is to take place on the Lake Cook Road eastbound exit ramp.

Work is scheduled to begin the week of April 27 on the eastbound exit and westbound entrance ramps at Buckley Road and Townline Road. Work will begin with closure of the I-PASS or Pay Online lanes for approximately two weeks, after which the cash lanes will close and the I-PASS or Pay Online lanes will reopen for all traffic. Cash customers wishing to access the Tollway via the I-PASS lanes will need to pay online within seven days of using the toll plaza. Repairs at both locations are scheduled to be complete by Memorial Day weekend.

Work at the Half Day Road exit is scheduled to begin the week of May 4 on the eastbound exit and westbound entrance ramp. Work will begin with closure of the I-PASS or Pay Online lane for approximately two weeks, at which time the cash lane will close and the I-PASS or Pay Online lane will reopen. Cash customers wishing to access the Tollway via the I-PASS lane will need to pay online within seven days of using the toll plaza. Work is scheduled to be complete by early summer.

Work is scheduled to begin in May on the eastbound exit ramp at Lake Cook Road. Because Lake Cook Road has three toll collection lanes, access for both cash and I-PASS customers will be retained throughout the work. Work is scheduled to be complete this summer.
