The Illinois Tollway has temporarily closed a portion of Martin Park adjacent to the Central Tri-State (I-294) Tollway through 2023. There will be no disruption to the park walking path or the baseball field during construction.

As part of the Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294) Project, the Illinois Tollway is reconstructing and widening I-294 between Balmoral Avenue and 95^th Street. Work adjacent to Martin Park will include temporary removal of the noisewall, along with tree removal and earthwork to prepare for roadway construction. Construction fencing will remain in place until work is complete and new noisewall is installed along I-294.
