Here’s what’s changed:

— Sunday’s full lane closures will start at 3 p.m., not 9 p.m. as in prior weeks. The Bears and Cubs are both in action at home Sunday afternoon, so plan accordingly. Folks will be leaving Soldier Field and Wrigley Field at roughly the time the closures take effect.

— Partial closures will allow for just one lane of traffic; previously, two lanes remained open.

Here’s what’s stayed the same:

— Motorists can expect partial lane closures to begin at 7 p.m.; full lanes closures will run from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. (Sunday, as noted above, is the exception.)
