The Balmoral Avenue Interchange is an all-electronic ramp that runs to the southbound Tri-State Tollway from Balmoral Avenue in Rosemont, Illinois. This $25 million project has provided thousands of drivers with improved access to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont Theater, O’Hare International Airport and numerous local businesses in the area. The interchange was developed under a locally financed agreement, the first of its kind as the Rosemont community agreed to finance and construct the project. The agreement required that Rosemont set goals for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation when hiring contractors to work on the project. Today, the developing entertainment district and surrounding areas enjoy less congestion and improved mobility. The project is a success story for the ongoing efforts to encourage state and local agency collaboration.
