Trafficpocalypse!

What's being referred to as a "pavement failure" on the Kennedy Expressway at Adams is responsible for a new edict from the Illinois Department of Transportation: stay away from downtown expressways for the next 24 hours. Per the Sun-Times:

One lane of the Kennedy was affected, but another was closed so repairs could be done.

Also, ramps from the westbound Eisenhower Expressway / Congress Parkway onto the northbound Kennedy are closed, and the ramp from the eastbound Eisenhower to the northbound Kennedy was being closed.

Time to test out those GPS units for rush hour!
