I 55 (Stevenson) takes a trip on LSD Closures




I55 is under construction










Patching of the bridge deck is expected to slow down traffic starting this week at the highway interchange between the Stevenson Expressway and Lake Shore Drive, transportation officials said Sunday.

Beginning about 10 a.m. Monday, one lane will be closed in both directions of the Stevenson (Interstate Highway 55) just west of Lake Shore until about 5 a.m. Thursday, the Illinois Department of Transportation said. The same schedule will be repeated each week until the project's completion, at the end of June, IDOT said.






For about one week in May, two lanes will be closed in both directions, IDOT said. In addition on some weekends during the project, the northbound Lake Shore ramp to the southbound Stevenson and the northbound Stevenson ramp to southbound Lake Shore will be closed. Exact dates are not yet available.

Motorists should expect delays and allow extra time for travel through this area, IDOT officials said.
