Your Future
I-80 in Will County is in serious need of reconstruction. For decades, this aging interstate system has been a constant source of congestion and frustration for motorists, and lack of funding has led to a patchwork of temporary fixes and small improvements.

Construction is underway and will be implemented in phases to minimize impacts on traffic.
