According to the Tollway, when pavement striping and barrier wall work is complete, traffic on the ramp connecting I-55 to northbound I-294 will no longer have access to the Hinsdale Oasis. Traffic is scheduled to remain in this configuration through mid-November.
The reduced oasis access is needed to complete lighting, utility and drainage work, as well as construction of pavement, retaining and noisewall needed to shift traffic into winter construction configuration.
The release said once the work is complete, all traffic on northbound I-294 between Plainfield Road and Cermak Road, as well as the traffic traveling from the I-55 ramp to northbound I-294, is scheduled to shift to the right with a work zone in the middle. Southbound I-294 is currently shifted to the right and will remain so through winter.
In 2023, work in this area includes construction of the northbound mainline pavement, shoulder work, reconstruction of the I-294 bridge over Salt Creek, noisewall construction and storm sewer and utility work, according to the release said.
Construction in this area is being coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Village of Indian Head Park, Village of Burr Ridge, Village of Hinsdale, Village of Western Springs, Cook County Department of Transportation, as well as local fire and police departments, the release said.
