The Illinois Department of Transportation said three entrance ramps from Chicago city streets to the Kennedy Expressway have opened to traffic. The ramps were opened before the afternoon rush hour and in time for IDOT to begin fighting the first major snow storm of the season.
The entrance ramps from Jackson Boulevard and Adams Street to the outbound Kennedy Expressway are open to traffic as well as the entrance ramp from Madison Street to the inbound Kennedy.
The exit ramps from the inbound Kennedy Expressway to Monroe Street, Adams Street and Jackson Boulevard will remain closed until spring 2010.
