The best guide on our whole USA trip. Quite brilliant! Crews are working to repair mechanisms between the two moveable portions of the bridge as well.
During this stage of construction, the two westernmost lanes on the southbound portion of Lower Lake Shore Drive will be closed. Drivers may also experience daily lane closures for ongoing roadway maintenance and other improvements. Installation of the steel spine is also complete for the southern portion of the path. Crews will now work to set the final pieces of spine adjacent to the Ogden Slip and the steel ribs, construct the bridge deck, which will be the surface of the path, and install path railings.
Check out the video below to see how crews installed the foot long, ,pound steel spine piece using a large crane set up in DuSable Park. Phase three work in June will continue to accommodate the widened path through the existing limestone bridge houses on the east side of the Lower Lake Shore Drive bascule bridge. Crews are rehabilitating the movable bridge and working inside the bridge houses to remove old materials. They will also install temporary center locks between the two movable portions of the bridge and replace the structural steel and steel roadway grating in the westernmost bay of the bridge.
During stage one, the two westernmost, southbound lanes on Lower Lake Shore Drive over the Chicago River will be closed. Vehicles will still be able to access Lower Wacker Drive and southbound Lakeshore Drive while southbound Lower Lakeshore Drive is reduced to two lanes.
Daily lane closures on Lower Lake Shore Drive may also occur for ongoing roadway maintenance and other improvements. This major milestone means pedestrians and bikers on the Lakefront Trail will no longer have to cross the two busy roadways.
There is temporary signage to direct people to the newly opened access point. The usable portion of the trail is in blue on the map below. Crews are continuing work in December on the structural steel spine in DuSable Park.
No roadway closures or overnight work are anticipated. In November, crews will complete a major portion of Phase II construction. On Nov. The work will begin around 4 a. Boat traffic within the slip will also be restricted.
The second segment of the spine will be positioned Nov. There will be no traffic impacts but boat traffic within the slip will be restricted. This work should be completed during the day between scheduled boat runs into the slip.
It is important to address safety and congestion issues here in the same way we do for other parts of the transportation network. The project provides a world-class, innovative bridge design, as well as eliminates several critical pinch points and at grade crossings. The Lakefront Trail currently narrows through the Chicago River Bridge sidewalk and directs users to street-designated paths around Navy Pier.
Starting at the south end of the project, the sidewalk on the east side of the LSD movable bridge will be widened to 16 feet; the northbound side of the new path will tunnel through the existing bridge houses in order to achieve this additional width. After crossing over Ogden Slip, there will be an off-ramp connection to Navy Pier; the main path will then rise to run behind Lake Point Towers; finally, it will pass over Grand Avenue, Jane Addams Park and the Ohio Street underpass, connecting to the existing trail at the north end of Jane Addams Park.
