Happy New Year! Spent part of the holidays going through a few thousand photos covering Illinois Interstates to fill in some page gaps for I-57 and I-80, plus finally make a page for Interstate 180.
Prior to 2014, Interstate 57 and the Tri State Tollway (I-294) crossed without any access. This changed with Phase 1 of the I-294/I-57 Interchange Project, which added a flyover from I-57 north to I-294 north, a two lane ramp from the Tollway south to I-57 south, and a half diamond interchange along the Tollway with 147th Street (to provide connectivity with I-57 to the east). Started in Spring 2019, Phase 2 completes the interchange with the addition of four ramps including a flyover from I-57 south to I-294 south. Work runs to the end of 2022.
Starting this past weekend, began going through photos taken through the Philadelphia area the last three years for some long needed revisions to pages for Interstate 76 along the Schuylkill Expressway and I-676 through both Philly and Camden, NJ. The I-76 guides were still in html and had not been touched since 2004. The pages for I-676 were updated more recently, but without photos taken any more recently than 2012. Combined the separate pages for I-676 in PA and NJ into a single overview page and guides for both east/south and north/west.
Updated Interstate 276 and I-476 northbound in Pennsylvania next.
