I-90 Construction Complete

Illinois Tollway

The Illinois Tollway is putting the finishing touches on the 37-mile rebuilding project between Rockford and Elgin. 

Officials say reconstruction of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway will finish today and the speed limit will return to 65 mph. Traffic will flow in both directions on three new lanes this morning.

The project took two years to complete.

Work to rebuild and widen I-90 between Elgin and I-294 will begin next spring and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016. All traffic will travel on three new lanes of pavement in both directions of I-90 between I-39 and the Elgin Toll Plaza.
