A Kennedy Expressway construction project that will have many commuters experiencing “major delays” for years is scheduled to start Monday, but commuters likely won’t experience the traffic impacts right away.

That's because the closures begin at 10 p.m. Monday and the first part of the work will be to simply put"the work zone in place." "Work initially involves setting up the work zone and gradually reducing the 7.5-mile stretch of the inbound Kennedy down to two through lanes," the Illinois Department of Transportation said in a release."Crews will put up barriers starting at the Edens junction moving south to Ohio Street. This process is scheduled to take place each night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning and is expected to take approximately one week for the work zone to be in place.
The estimated $150 million project includes"rehabilitating 36 bridge structures and the Reversible Lane Access Control system, replacing overhead sign-structures, installing new signage and modernized LED lights, pavement patching and structural painting." Hubbard’s Cave, from Grand Avenue to Wayman Street, will also be painted and new LED lighting will be installed, IDOT said.
