Daily Herald reports, “When construction on the Jane Addams Tollway (I-90) wraps up, motorists will sigh with relief and smile in anticipation of easy, breezy commutes.” The report includes a sharp Illinois Tollway graphic illustrating one of its 29 new “smart road” gantries. Tollway executive director Greg Bedalov tells Daily Herald, “The technology empowers drivers ‘to make wise decisions about lane usage. It’s about safety and congestion relief, which leads to environmental benefits, and positioning the tollway to be a 21st-century leader.’” Bedalov adds that “smart road” technology figures in the tollway’s planning for a rebuild of the central Tri-State Tollway.
