Emergency Repairs to Affect Stevenson During Evening Rush

Right lane on the inbound side of I-55 will be closed just west of Lake Shore Drive

One lane on the inbound Stevenson Expressway will be closed near Lake Shore Drive during the Monday evening rush for emergency patching.

The right lane on the inbound side of I-55 will be closed just west of Lake Shore Drive as crews make emergency repairs on a bridge deck, the Illinois Department of Transportation said in a statement.

The two left lanes of the expressway will remain open. However, because of the location of the repairs, the ramp to southbound Lake Shore Drive will be closed, IDOT said.

Officials expect the work to continue through the evening rush and conclude late Monday. Motorists should expect delays.
