Interstate 490 (I-490), also known as O'Hare West Bypass and Western O'Hare Beltway, is a proposed electronic toll highway and a beltway near Chicago that would run along the west side of O'Hare International Airport.[1] The tollway would connect Interstate 294 (I-294, the Tri-State Tollway) to a western access point to the airport. From there, it would continue northward to an extension of the Illinois Route 390 and I-90 (Jane Addams Memorial Tollway). Building the highway would affect the villages of Elk Grove Village, Wood Dale, Itasca and Bensenville.[2]
In December 2009, IDOT finalized the routing of the western bypass.[3] Intermediate interchanges are planned at County Line Road/Franklin Avenue, IL 19, IL 390 and IL 72.[4]
On August 25, 2011, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISHTA) approved a $12 billion capital plan, doubling toll rates to fund it.[5] The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials approved the Interstate 490 designation in November 2014, contingent on Federal Highway Administration approval.[4]
Construction will begin in 2017 and will be completed in 2023.
