Overnight Ramp Closure Planned on Tollway

The installation of new monotube and toll collection equipment at the Tri-State Tollway’s Half Day Road (Illinois Route 22) exit will cause overnight closures of the ramp beginning Wednesday.

That night, one I-PASS or Pay Online lane at the toll plaza is scheduled to close at 8 p.m., with one automatic coin machine lane remaining open. The full ramp closure is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. to remove the old toll plaza canopy and install the new monotube and toll collection equipment. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 5 a.m. Thursday in advance of the morning rush hour.

A second night of overnight ramp closures following the same schedule are planned for Thursday to complete the toll plaza improvements on I-94 with all lanes scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. on Friday.

While the ramp is closed, drivers can use the Lake Cook Road Interchange or the Townline Road (Illinois Route 60) Interchange to enter I-94.

Electronic message signs will be put in place to alert drivers in advance of the closures.

Similar overnight ramp closures and long-term, single lane closures are also scheduled for the ramp carrying traffic from eastbound I-94 to Half Day Road later this spring.

All work is scheduled to be complete this summer.
