Lorig Construction will begin work in the eastbound direction near Skokie Boulevard beginning on Monday, June 28, 2010.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane on the Eden’s Spur prior to merging with the inbound Eden’s Expressway. Scope of work includes removing the existing pavement surface. Portable Changeable Message Signs will been placed along the Spur within the Tollway right-of-way towards the eastern end of the project informing drivers of the lane reduction.

The Eden’s Spur will be reduced to one lane in each direction following the 4th of July holiday.

The noise wall construction schedule is still to be determined but we are confident the walls will be constructed after the majority of the roadway/bridge work is complete (Fall/Winter 2010).

Attached for your information is the project fact sheet. The Tollway will continue to update the fact sheet (which is also available on the Illinois Tollway web site under "Project Updates") as information becomes available from the contractor.
