Chicago, IL – Drivers across Chicago are facing heavy delays Friday after police shut down all lanes of I-94 northbound on the Dan Ryan Expressway near 95th Street.
According to Illinois State Police, troopers are conducting an investigation that has forced a full closure of the northbound lanes. The shutdown is causing major backups on both the Bishop Ford Freeway (I-94) and Interstate 57, which feed directly into the affected stretch.
The incident began Friday morning, and authorities have not released details on the nature of the investigation. As of publication, there is no timeline for when lanes will reopen. Police are urging motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes to bypass the closure.
The Dan Ryan is one of the busiest commuter highways in Illinois, carrying more than 300,000 vehicles daily. A complete shutdown during peak travel hours can add significant time to commutes throughout Chicago’s South Side and beyond.
Travelers headed into downtown from the south suburbs should expect extended delays and consider using Lake Shore Drive, Halsted Street, or the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) as detours until the roadway reopens.
