The Kennedy Expressway’s reversible express lanes will reopen Monday in time for morning rush hour after nearly a year of construction.
The Illinois Department of Transportation said Sunday the lanes would be open by 5 a.m., weather permitting.
Chicago is tied with New York City for the second worst traffic in the world, a study from Inrix, which studies transportation and traffic, recently found. Traffic also got worse in the city over the last year as the Kennedy was under construction, the study determined.
