• ‘We finally got the ramp open': Access from tollway to North Avenue a game-changer (dailyherald.com) — Northlake drivers will soon get faster access to North Avenue thanks to a long-awaited new ramp from southbound I-294 to County Line Road, opening Saturday. Local leaders say the $50 million project will ease congestion into Northlake’s industrial and commercial areas and improve traffic for nearby communities, while added signals, drainage work, and bridge widening aim to reduce flooding and neighborhood cut-throughs.
