This $800 million critical infrastructure initiative will help alleviate congestion for more than 300,000 vehicles daily. As one of the most important crossroads in Illinois' tollway system, the interchange connects the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88), the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294), in addition to several local and state roadways. It also acts as a vital link for both commuter traffic and the regional freight network.
Serving as Illinois Tollway's owner's representative, construction corridor manager, and construction manager, GFT is ensuring effective coordination, strict adherence to safety standards, and a commitment to quality throughout the project's life cycle. When complete in 2027, the I-290/I-88 interchange will significantly enhance mobility, improve community connectivity, and strengthen the region's transportation network.
