DuSable Lake Shore Drive, one of Chicago’s most highly trafficked streets, will soon see major closures as crews work to resurface lanes.
According to the Chicago Department of Transportation, resurfacing of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive between LaSalle Drive and Hollywood Avenue will take place beginning Tuesday evening. CDOT says the work, which will require “temporary, fully closures of all lanes,” is a continuation a project that began in the spring of 2024.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, northbound DuSable Lake Shore Drive will be reduced to two lanes between Hollywood Avenue and Lawrence Avenue, CDOT said.
The northbound exit ramps at Foster and Bryn Mawr will be also closed, as well as the northbound entrance ramps at Lawrence, Foster and Bryn Mawr, CDOT added.
Beginning at 9 p.m. Tuesday, all lanes of northbound DuSable Lake Shore Dr. will be closed between Hollywood Avenue and Lawrence Avenue, with traffic detoured to Lawrence, according to CDOT.
All lanes are expected to reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning, CDOT said.
According to officials, the work is expected to be completed by late-October.
