You are talking about the Circle Interchange/Jany Byrne Interchange of the Dan Ryan, Kennedy and Eisenhower Expressways I presume. Do you have a source on that being the site for Wright's mile high Illinois? I have heard of numerous sites from different sources such as in or near Lincoln Park and near the Planetarium as in Northerly Island, perhaps because the rendering shows a site that appears to be in a park near the lake and people are just speculating. I am not aware of Wright himself mentioning a specific location for the project.
