The Hinsdalean - Community journalism the way it was meant to be

Jim Slonoff

A project to widen the Tri-State Tollway means the end of the over-the-road Hinsdale Oasis building, once home to a variety of restaurants. The final three - Panda Express, McDonald's and Sbarro - closed Sept. 15. Crews are preparing to remove the building this spring and the pedestrian bridge connecting Hinsdale and Western Springs this summer. A noise wall around the oasis has been installed to minimize the impact of construction on Hinsdale residents who live nearby.
