Tri-State Tollway Widening, Illinois
The Tri-State Tollway (I-294), which runs through the western Chicago suburbs up to O’Hare Airport, is a testament to the fact that you can’t build your way out of congestion. Despite already having been widened twice, in the 1970s and 1990s, the Illinois Tollway is currently moving forward with a $4 billion project to widen the road from four lanes in each direction to five and in some places six lanes. Although some construction has already started, main construction is expected to take place between 2021 and 2025.
