Reduced Access To Hinsdale Oasis Until Mid-November

HINSDALE, IL – Northbound drivers from Interstate 55 to Interstate 294 won't be able to access the Hinsdale Oasis starting this week and lasting through mid-November, the Illinois Tollway said Tuesday.

Other points of access will continue.

The change is the result of the continuing project to rebuild I-294.

The reduced oasis access is needed to complete lighting, utility and drainage work, as well as shifting to a winter construction configuration, the Illinois Tollway said in a news release.

Once the work is finished, all traffic on northbound I-294 between Plainfield and Cermak roads is scheduled to shift to the right with a work zone in the middle, the release said.

Southbound I-294 traffic is now shifted to the right and is expected to remain so through the winter.
