The Illinois Department of Transportation will fully close both directions of Interstate 55 at its junction with Interstate 80 for three consecutive nights beginning Monday, July 7, to allow crews to repair the I-80 bridge over I-55 in the Joliet, Channahon and Shorewood corridor. Lane reductions on I-80 will start at 8 p.m., followed by I-55 at 9 p.m. Between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. each night the interchange will shut down entirely, with traffic detoured to local roads. One northbound and one southbound lane of I-55 will reopen at 5 a.m. daily, and IDOT expects the work to be finished by 6 a.m. Thursday, July 10. Separately, the outbound Kennedy Expressway will be trimmed to a single lane from Washington Boulevard to Addison Street between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, with reversible express lanes closed at midnight. The overnight restrictions will enable crews to shift the work zone for the next phase of the multi-year Kennedy rehabilitation, which is scheduled to wrap up by Thanksgiving.
