Elgin-O’Hare Lake Street terminus

Map of I390In 2018, the Tollway began a feasibility study to extend exit ramps from the expressway’s current terminus at Lake St. (US-20) to Country Farm Rd. to decrease backups at the stoplight at Lake St.

We conducted targeted surveys for federally
protected species and state-listed species with nearby EORs, including Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, Northern Long-eared Bat, Blanding’s Turtle, Small Yellow Sedge, and Green Yellow Sedge.
