Chicago, Illinois – Lane closures on Interstate 57 in Chicago will affect traffic Saturday morning during a scheduled bridge inspection.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, crews will inspect the Parnell Avenue bridge over I-57 from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 21, weather permitting.
To complete the work, lane closures will take place in both directions of I-57 using a moving operation alternating traffic flow. At least one lane in each direction will remain open at all times, officials said.
Drivers should expect delays and allow extra travel time through the area. IDOT urges motorists to slow down, follow posted work zone signage, and remain alert for workers and equipment near the roadway.
The inspection is part of routine maintenance designed to ensure bridge safety and structural integrity. Additional information on statewide projects is available at gettingaroundillinois.com.
The closures may affect weekend commuters and workers traveling along the I-57 corridor on Chicago’s South Side.
