York Road Reconstruction Project
York Road Reconstruction Project
The York Road Reconstruction Project includes full reconstruction of York Road between Gateway Road and Devon Avenue as part of the I-490/IL 390 Interchange Project.
Construction is scheduled to be complete in 2027.
Construction Update 3/25/25
Beginning Monday, March 31, York Road will be reduced to one lane in both directions between Devon Avenue and Supreme Drive. Traffic is scheduled to remain in this configuration through 2025.
Customer Impacts
Lane closures and traffic shifts on York Road will be necessary to accommodate traffic during construction. Temporary traffic signals will be installed on York Road at Devon Avenue and at Foster Avenue to manage traffic flow. Electronic message signs and construction signage will be put in place to alert drivers to scheduled lane closures, traffic patterns, and work zone speed limits.
Purpose
The new I-490 Tollway, coupled with the Illinois Route 390 Tollway, will connect businesses and communities with one of the nation's busiest airports, transit facilities, major freight transportation hubs, distribution centers and multiple interstate highways including the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) and the Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294). Improvements on York Road are being coordinated as part of the I-490/IL 390 Interchange Project.
Local Coordination
The York Road Reconstruction Project is being delivered in partnership with the DuPage County Division of Transportation. In addition to its work to restore the portion of York Road within the I-490/IL 390 Interchange area, DuPage County is funding reconstruction of York Road to the north and south of the interchange as well as the multi-use path.
Work Zone Safety
The Illinois Tollway is committed to ensuring that the Illinois Route 390 Tollway, as well as local roads, remains safe for both drivers and workers during construction, which is part of the agency's overall commitment to roadway safety. Work zone speed limits are in effect in all construction zones 24/7 and drivers should continue to watch for changing traffic patterns and use caution, especially when workers are present.
