The first home to be moved for the I-44 widening project was moved today. The project will widen I-44 from four to six lanes from Riverside to Yale Ave. Don't expect anything even remotely resembling immediate congestion relief though--it will take 8 months or so (probably longer) to relocate the homes and then 6-18 months to relocate utilities. Major construction of the roadway itself is not expected to begin until 2010...which means 2012 at the earliest.
