CDOT Traffic Advisory: Additional Lane Closures and Traffic Impacts on North DuSable Lake Shore Drive

The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) has announced significant traffic impacts due to ongoing resurfacing work on North DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Effective immediately, a single lane will be closed in the southbound direction between Irving Park Road and LaSalle Drive from noon on September 20 until 9:00 a. m. on September 22. In addition, all southbound lanes between Belmont Avenue and LaSalle Drive will be fully closed starting at 9:00 p.

m. on September 21, lasting until 9:00 a. m. on September 22. This action has been necessitated by the discovery of potholes on the milled surface, which compromised the roadway's condition.

CDOT aims to improve pavement conditions and ensure driver safety ahead of forecasted rainstorms. The department urges drivers to remain vigilant while navigating through the construction area and to observe reduced speed limits. This advisory reflects the city's ongoing efforts to enhance its transportation infrastructure and address public safety concerns. Residents and commuters are encouraged to stay informed through official city communications regarding further updates.
