Thanks, Louis!
More explosions from imaginary transforming robots will again shut down downtown streets this weekend and cause a number of CTA reroutes. So what kind of weekend havoc are Optimus Prime and Megatron going to cause on weekend traffic? Besides the now-typical explosions, fireballs, skydivers, and helicopters, Wacker Drive will be closed between Wabash and State starting at 8 p.m. tomorrow night through 5 a.m. Monday July 26 and Wabash will be closed between Wacker and Lake starting at 8 p.m. tomorrow night and going through 5 a.m. Monday July 26. While the CTA has yet to post this weekend's reroutes, ABC 7 has a list of the affected bus routes here.
