As if the Kennedy Expressway construction project wasn't enough to contend with, this weekend, part of I-80 in Joliet is about to see some delays.

It will take about a week for crews to set up the full configuration of barricades. On Tuesday morning, two left lanes were shut down from Montrose to Irving Park.
