Damen / Elston / Fullerton Intersection Project
The Chicago Department of Transportation, in conjunction with Alderman Waguespack’s office, is planning a major improvement to this intersection. The plan includes the rerouting of Elston Avenue around the existing six corner intersection with Damen and Fullerton. Analysis of other alternatives, including a tunnel or flyover, revaled them to be less effective and more expensive than the current proposal.
This proposed project will significantly improve traffic safety and capacity and involves the acquisition of only a handful of properties and no displacement of any existing residences.
The benefits of the proposed project include:
- Improved access to adjacent properties and businesses
- Elimination of the six-legged intersection will reduce driver confusion and accidents
- Majority of construction is off exising alignment minimizing traffic impacts during construction
- Improved conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists
- One year construction schedule
- Avoidance of utility relocations and traffic lane reductions involved in a tunnel approach
