ITRCC’s  Northwest Indiana Bridge Rehabilitation 2023

Construction began March 6, 2023, with project to include work on six bridges on 1-90 around the West Point Toll Plaza (Illinois Stateline), followed in mid-March with 12 bridges on 1-90 at Exit 10 (Gary/Chicago International Airport), and guardrail improvements on 1-90 between Exit 10 to Exit 5 (Hammond). To expedite the overall project schedule, the majority of construction will occur Monday through Saturday between 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT.

Memorial Weekend Update: Construction will be halted at Westpoint until Tuesday, 5/30 with Lane 1 EB now open.

We’ve completed spring construction with 2 of the 6 mainline structures just before Westpoint Toll Plaza (Illinois/Indiana Stateline). We’ll be moving into summer construction on June 1, 2023, with work continuing on the structure over the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (MM 1.56). The summer phase will include the left lanes of both eastbound and westbound directions.

During the summer phase, construction will also continue on 12 bridges on 1-90 at Exit 10 (Gary/Chicago International Airport), with 5 already being completed. Local detours between Exit 10 to Exit 5 (Hammond) during times of entry/exit ramp closures at Exit 10.

Better Tech for Better Tolling

The ITRCC has begun to refresh the in-lane toll experience, which will carry out road work into 2023.
This is a complete modernization of all in-lane equipment including new Automatic Toll Payment Machines (ATPMs), new transponder readers, new cameras, and a completely rework of back-office system designed to deliver quality-of-life improvements to toll collectors, customer service agents, and customers alike. Customers will now see the latest in modernized payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the tap-to-pay functionality built into many credit cards, most customers can expect their payment to take three seconds. For drivers with E-ZPass transponders, new E-ZPass readers at toll booths will also provide a more seamless experience with virtually no wait times.
