	90/94 On the Move to Improve
		Both directions of the Dan Ryan from 13th Street to the Bishop Ford (I-94)/ I-57 Interchange on Chicago’s South Side will be reduced to as few as three open lanes during the reconstruction project to build a safer, less congested Dan Ryan.
		During the 2006 construction season, IDOT rehabilitated the inbound Dan Ryan bridge from 31st Street to Roosevelt Road (1200 south); reconstructed both directions of the express lanes between 31st St. and 71st Street; and rebuilt and widened the outside lanes from 71st Street to the I-57/Bishop Ford Freeway (I-94) interchange.
		The Dan Ryan will be smoother and safer because of the additional lane and longer entrance and exit ramps to allow more time for drivers to merge.

	Kennedy Expressway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kennedy's official endpoints are the Circle Interchange with Interstate 290 (Eisenhower Expressway / Congress Parkway) and the Dan Ryan Expressway (also I-90/94) at the east end, and the O'Hare Airport terminals at the west end.
		The Kennedy later merges with the southern end of the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) at Montrose Avenue; the Kennedy (at this point both I-90 and I-94) then turns south to its junction with the Dan Ryan and Eisenhower Expressways and Congress Parkway at the Circle Interchange in downtown Chicago.
		The Kennedy and its South Side extension, the Dan Ryan, are the busiest roads in Illinois.

	Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Dan Ryan branch
		The Dan Ryan Line, constructed between 1967 and 1969, was the first of the two lines to open.
		Just south of its first station at Cermak-Chinatown, the Dan Ryan Line continues south along side a feeder branch of the Dan Ryan Expressway (sometimes referred to as the "Franklin Connector", although it was never built to its full length and thus does not actually hook into Franklin Avenue).
		The design of the nine stations of the Dan Ryan line was carried out by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill under the direction of Myron Goldsmith, who developed a modern, functional form in the late International style popular at the time.

	America on the Move \| Dan Ryan expressway aerial, Chicago, Illinois
		The highway through the South side—and some of the poorest areas of the city—would come to be known as the Dan Ryan Expressway.
		When the first section opened in 1961, the Dan Ryan was the widest and busiest highway in the world.
		In the 1950s the growing perception of Chicago officials, business leaders, and urban planners was that, along with traffic congestion, the physical blight of the slums played a large part in undermining the quality of urban life and even the economic future of the city.

	ALONG THE DIVIDE Photographs of the Dan Ryan Expressway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		I have often referred to the Dan Ryan as a linear buffer, which acts as a cushion for those people who want a link to the city, but also want a definable separation from the “realities” of city life.
		I had to become sympathetic with the Dan Ryan’s cycles and flows, its causes and effects.
		Many of my subjects, both human and architectural, have since changed, moved, or disappeared, but the Dan Ryan remains as a monolith of urban engineering, and continues to affect the culture and commerce of Chicago and the nation.

	Properties Claimed by State for Construction of Dan Ryan Expressway, 1953-1954
		In the 1950s the city also used eminent domain to build new expressways through neighborhoods on the south, west, and northwest sides.
		Although the initial plans for the south side expressway that became the Dan Ryan would have cut through the Bridgeport neighborhood along Normal Avenue, in 1956 Mayor Richard J. Daley and the city council moved the route to Wentworth Avenue along the eastern edge of Armour Square and Fuller Park.
		The new route displaced residents and businesses in neighborhoods adjacent to the neighborhoods that had already been displaced by the new housing projects.
