Jane Byrne Interchange

Can you spot the 19 bridges? We all know this project was a major undertaking, but did you know it included 32 miles of expressway lanes, too?

Move over Chicago, there’s a new interchange in town. 😎

We have GREAT news! The new Jane Byrne Interchange is OPEN – including all northbound and southbound lanes! This week we had an official ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening and the benefits the newly reconstructed interchange brings.

Have you heard? The Adams Street and Jackson Boulevard bridges over the Kennedy (I-90/94) are OPEN! The exit ramps to these bridges from the inbound Kennedy are also open!

Both new bridges are wider with two travel lanes and 10-foot-wide sidewalks, along with a dedicated bike lane on the Jackson Boulevard bridge. The entrance ramps from the bridges to the outbound Kennedy are anticipated to reopen in late December. Once open, they will connect traffic to the northbound collector-distributor road that also provides access to the ramps to Washington Boulevard, Madison Street, and Lake Street.
