ILs mantra..the beatings will continue until the morale improves but Expect Delays is good too. Seems some are happy that Chicago/land remains miserable. Status quo is often asinine...Always feel free to use a dictionary as I tend to offend younger or more sensitive viewers. Thanx Pythagoras. :rofl:

Did you read reply #70?

What?
Its a simple question.

"Did you read reply" That is not a simple question. Now if you said "Did you read and reply to #70" that'd make more sense. For an answer, no I call TL-DR because it's the same shit you always say.

Done now?

Where exactly would one put express lanes on that section of I-290?

Fitting 8 lanes looks to be a challenge.

I do recall plans to relocate the left exit/entrances at Harlem and Austin to the right - they would then curve back up and over the mainline and the Metra tracks and meet up at the cross street in a SPUI.

I like the idea of dropping some ramps in the Avenues, too.
OK, lets go back to Moribund Island. Ah, gee yes "fitting 8 lanes looks to be a challenge". Lets spend millions we dont have and rip up the IKE, relocate this, drop that, build some nice noise walls (was thinking maybe just a "dome", suspended structure) and after all that we will have accomplished jacksquat. Oh but it will look nicer and we will teach people to NEVER go down the Ike again. Thats OK, Ive always hated Chicago anyway. I take the Tri-state all the time when Im going back and forth from Wherethefami, WI. :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

No doubt. Ya think a Snickers will do it? You sense moodiness? Its probably from the snarky, inane blather I sense. :sleep:

Me too. Went down Ike today WB 3 pm. Wonderful, as ever, cant imagine what 4-7 pm was like. Oak Park is a tough nut, around East Av? What about temporarily upgrading/using right shoulder as a lane during peak, looks like theres room to build some breakdown shoulders between bridges? Also a constant merge/exit lane? There may be room for that, esp. west of OP?

Does anyone have links to the specific plans for this corridor? Like graphics that show the proposed improvements? I can't find them on the website.

Also, when will they decide on a final alternative?

I like the idea of adding HOT Lanes to 290. Would it be possible to ultimately build HOT Lanes along the entire length of 290?

Not likely near I-355 and EOE ramps. maybe a full toll on IL-53 past Il-62.

Thanks for the info, but what I was really looking for artist renditions of the proposed improvements. Do they have any pdf's of designs of the proposed improvements over satellite imagery? Do you know what I mean?

Yes, I do not see anything like that out on here, maybe once we get a finalized plan this summer?

Luv that I-294 flyover idea, with 88 & N294 going to WB290 (gotta jump that S294 ramp too), eliminating the slow oval. Actually EB290 needs a flyover too. Oh well.

So what happens now?

Whatever study they do finishes up later this summer, then what?

We have a bit more federal funding coming in- $100 million a year from the FAST act and $75 million from other previous federal allocations that were never used.

They also have a study about adding another lane to the Kennedy from Cumberland to Harlem, what then?

This plan for the toll lanes on I-55 has been proposed for some time. It would probably make sense to do that first since there is, for the most part, the ROW needed to make that happen.
