As extreme heat and dangerous humidity blankets the Chicago area, some Drivers License facilities are having to close early after the air conditioning units in several of the locations malfunctioned, the Secretary of State's office said Tuesday.
According to a press release, three locations will be closing early:
Chicago South Drivers Services Facility, 9901 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.
According to the release, the air conditioning unit is "unable to cool the building due to the extreme heat." As a result, the location will be closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
