CHICAGO, Oct. 12, 2001 — Tomorrow and for three days next week, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction along 57th Drive near its intersection with South Lake Shore Drive, the Chicago Department of Transportation said.
The lane closures are scheduled to occur:
- 5 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 13; and,
- 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, Oct. 15-17.
Drivers approaching the intersection should expect delays, especially at those times. The lane reductions are required so that work crews can safely prepare the area for underpass construction next year.
The City of Chicago, Illinois Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration are investing $162 million in the South Lake Shore Drive Reconstruction Project, with much of the funding coming from the Illinois FIRST program.
For more project information, please call 311 in Chicago or visit the project website at www.cityofchicago.org/Transportation. For CTA or Metra information, call the RTA at 836-7000 from any Chicagoland area code.
