New Interchange at Route 59 and I-55 Set To Open Monday

The newest interchange in the state opens up Monday, right here in Will County

Construction of the Route 59 and Interstate 55 interchange has entered a new stage, and starting on Monday, the public will be able to utilize it. There is a ribbon cutting ceremony that will take place first at the site of the interchange. US Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth will be among the dignitaries to attend the event, which is scheduled to take place at 10:30am.

Once the ceremony is over, and the ramp is open, there may be some temporary lane closures to finish minor detail work on the interchange.
