South Lake Shore Drive: Newly reconstructed lanes to open to traffic from 56th Street north

• Tomorrow (July 2), traffic in the Burnham Park section of South Lake Shore Drive will begin using the newly reconstructed roadway in both directions between 23rd Street and 56th Street.
• There will be four lanes in each direction between 23rd Street and 47th Street; and three lanes in each direction from 47th Street to 56th Street.
• As the roadway work draws to a close in the Burnham Park area, major landscaping improvements begin, and drivers should expect intermittent off-peak lane closures.
• Although lanes are reopening, the speed limit will remain at 35 mph throughout the construction zone from 23rd Street to 67th Street.
