SCHEDULE

Over 16 miles of I-80 from Minooka to New Lenox will be reconstructed, including over 30 bridges. Construction will be implemented in phases to minimize impacts on traffic. 

​

The I-80 reconstruction project will occur in stages, a few miles at a time. Completion of one phase is required to advance to the next, with full reconstruction anticipated to be completed in 2028.
