In about 10 minutes, the city will close Jackson between Canal and Wacker for the next year to repair the bridge and rebuild the viaduct over the Union Station south passenger platforms. This, of course, means CTA bus reroutes. Several of them. Between now and April 2010, if you catch the 1, 7, X28, 126, 129, 130, 132, 151, and 156 buses in this area, you'll need to figure out your new stop. The CTA has all the details here.



Isn't this a photo of the Adams St bridge? I guess you can't always trust Google Image search.
Not really, just uploaded the wrong photo from the series. I blame the lack of coffee. Anyway, fixed.
You know, until about 6 months ago, I crossed the Jackson St. Bridge about 10 times a day, and I still cross at least once every other day or so, and yet this post 10 minutes before the event is the first I've heard that it would be closed at all, much less for a year.
The city need to work on its communication skills.
That's funny. I walked right across that bridge this morning and after work from and to Union Station. Did they delay the closure?
