I-88 Roadway, Bridge and Ramp Repairs
Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88)
Roadway, Bridge and Ramp Repairs
In 2023, the Illinois Tollway maintenance work on the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) will include ramp repair work at Illinois Route 31 and installation of new virtual weigh-in-motion systems at Orchard Road and Eola Road, as well roadway camera and ramp queue detection installation between Hoyle Road and Freedom Drive.
This work is scheduled to begin in the summer and be complete by the end of the year.
Construction Update (6/30/23)
Between Randall Road and Orchard Road shoulders are closed through July in both directions for barrier wall and electrical work.
Please check the Daily Construction Alert for up-to-date closure information.
Customer Impacts
Whenever possible, the Tollway uses traffic shifts and shoulders to keep as many lanes open during peak hours as were available before construction.
Electronic message signs and construction signage will be put in place in advance to alert drivers to scheduled lane closures, traffic patterns and work zone speed limits.
During the ramp repairs at Illinois Route 31, extended closures and detours will be needed to complete the work.
Purpose
These repairs are necessary to extend the life of the roadway and bridges and provide safe and convenient travel for Tollway customers. This work is part of the Tollway’s 15-year, $14 billion capital program, Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future.
The project is being coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Kane County and Village of North Aurora, as well as local fire and police departments.
