This location is part of the Chicago REVLAC reversible lane system used to manage peak-direction traffic volumes on the Kennedy Expressway. The westbound access point at W. Ohio Street includes a tower-based net system that controls vehicle entry into the reversible lanes during designated operating periods.
The installation provides controlled access for the inbound and outbound flow pattern used on I-90, tying into the larger sequence of REVLAC towers positioned along the corridor. This site functions as one of the primary transition points near downtown Chicago, where directional operations change based on traffic schedules and lane status.
