Construction and Congestion
As the old Chicago joke goes, there are two seasons in Chicago, Winter and Construction.
During our wedding weekend there will be significant construction on the Kennedy Expressway (94) where the interchange at Ohio and Ontario streets will be under construction. While there will be detours, congestion will be unavoidable. For details see the IDOT plans here.
Suggestions:
1) Give yourself extra time to get to get to our wedding.
2) If you are driving, utilize the waze app on your smartphone.
3) Stay up to date with construction plans and updates:
