History
The Edens was last rehabilitated from 1978 through 1980.
On April 4, 2008 the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) closed one lane in each direction for the entire length of the freeway. The closures, lasting until August 2008, occurred in advance of patching and resurfacing of the mainline. In addition, the $42.8 million project will rehabilitate six bridges and improve drainage at four underpasses.

“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny.

On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
