"3-year Kennedy Expressway overhaul disrupts Chicago traffic"

A three-year, $150 million construction project has begun on the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago to repair 36 bridge structures, overhead sign-structures, pavement patching, and more. During the first phase, inbound lanes will be repaired, followed by reversible lanes in 2024 and outbound lanes in 2025. Two left lanes are closed from Montrose to Irving Park, and by the end of the week, it will extend to Hubbard's Cave. IDOT suggests leaving home earlier or staggering drive time, using CTA or Metra, or taking alternative routes.
