Ohio, Ontario feeder ramps fully reopening Friday after more than 1 year of repairs
The Ohio and Ontario feeder ramps are set to fully reopen Friday morning, weather permitting, after nearly a year and a half of construction that narrowed the three-lane ramps down to two.
Before they do, crews will close the Ontario Street ramp from 11 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. Crews performed a similar closure of Ohio Street on Wednesday night to apply pavement markings and remove barricades.
But the construction is not entirely over — yet.
Later this summer, concrete pavement patching will require the full closure over three weekends alternating between Ohio and Ontario streets. The exact dates will be announced later, a state transportation agency spokesperson said Thursday.
The full reopening may alleviate congestion that has hit the two main ramps connecting the Kennedy Expressway to River North since construction began in November 2024.
At the time, officials said the $15-million project to fix the bridge decks spanning over the Chicago River would be completed in the fall of 2025.
The project is separate from the three-year Kennedy Expressway rehabilitation that ended last fall.
