What is IDOT doing with the IKE that is causing concern?
In 2001, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) launched a multi-year preliminary engineering and environmental study for the improvement of I-290 Eisenhower Expressway between Mannheim Road (U.S. 12/45) and Cicero (Illinois Route 50). The purpose of this so-called “Phase I” study is to develop a formally approved plan for IDOT to rebuild the Eisenhower Expressway corridor. This project is described by IDOT District One (Chicago Region’s) as its next big highway reconstruction project to tackle since the Stevenson Expressway project, as well as the so called “Hillside Strangler” congestion mitigation project at the convergence of I-294 and I-88 with the Eisenhower Expressway, are completed. The major focus of this Phase I study is to determine whether I-290 congestion can be mitigated during reconstruction by adding a HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane in each direction between Austin and Mannheim Road or further west. This would increase the highway from six to eight lanes in
