Stuff I noticed since last update this past Friday
-No major changes from the eventual I-490 JCT to O'Hare Oasis. The southbound express lane is now shifted to just before Wolf Rd.
-Southbound I-294 to westbound I-290 has a new ramp opened with lighting already turned on. Otherwise no changes between St. Charles Rd and Lake St. Bridge construction continues for St. Charles Rd.
-Northbound I-294 to I-290 will eventually have a major shift sometime in the next few weeks, new lanes have been built.
-Some lane shifts between Ogden Ave and I-88 in both directions, looks like prepping for eventual shifts.
-No major changes by the BNSF bridge, it looks almost ready, mostly track work at this point.
-A big shift between 75th St and I-55. Both north/southbound lanes are back to 4 lanes and southbound is on new pavement. Middle sections are now being torn up. The new I-55 ramp bridge to northbound 294 is waiting for the steel beams. Plainfield Rd bridge continues construction.
-Mile long bridge construction continues, no major changes.
-No major changes between LaGrange and 95th St, but something they do need to update is the street lines on the southbound section. Paint has been scratched up by the plows and covered with salt dust. At one point, the far right lane merges back left and becomes a short shoulder before then going back right for the 95th exit. Have seen probably 5 close calls here approaching the ramps.
