Just when we were getting used to lane closures on the northern end of DuSable Lake Shore Drive, the Chicago Department of Transportation is shaking things up and shifting resurfacing work this week to the stretch between Irving Park Road and LaSalle Drive.
Lane closures will only affect southbound traffic.
In general, significant impacts begin at 7 p.m. and complete overnight lane closures kick in at 9 p.m., but on Tuesday CDOT announced it had decided to push back full closures to 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday nights to accommodate post-game Cubs traffic.
According to CDOT, the resurfacing project is expected to be completed by late October.
