Wacker Drive Construction Moves To Monroe, Adams
By Chuck Sudo in News on Jan 9, 2012 3:05PM
The seemingly never-ending Wacker Drive reconstruction shuts down the Monroe and Adams intersections starting today, in the next phase of the $300 million project. At this rate we'll be nearing retirement before the project is completed and the earlier intersections will be in need of touch-ups.
Anyway, in addition to the Monroe And Adams intersections getting their facelifts, Madison Street re-opens between Canal and Franklin, Franklin will continue to be a two-way street, southbound access from Lower Wacker to Upper Wacker via Randolph will continue to be closed to all traffic, and access to and from Congress will continue to be closed to traffic from Wacker.
The Revive Wacker Drive website has a full list of impacts here, and CTA has a full list of the bus routes that will be affected by the move here.
