Is there a project in the works to replace the left-hand on-ramps on the Kennedy Expressway around I-290 in Chicago?
What is the status of it if there is one?
I recall a plan to lessen the number of left side entrances on I-90/94 through downtown, but not a complete reconstruction of the segment, and I don't recall a start date.
They did some work this summer. I saw it I think they made merges better but the public was against closures
An old CATS study showed a suprising amount of short tripson the expressways. Some people just went ramp to ramp.
Google indicates removal of some of the ramps:
