Chicago weekend travel alert: Starting at 11 p.m. Friday, July 24, Ohio Street will be closed between the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) and Orleans Street for pavement work on the Ohio Street ramp to the elevated bridges. This is the third of four planned weekend closures, alternating between Ontario and Ohio streets.

The full closure is necessary to give the newly poured concrete time to cure and to minimize impacts to the traveling public while maintaining the safety of both motorists and construction personnel. A detour will direct eastbound traffic to North Avenue (Illinois 64), Clybourn Avenue, Division Street, and LaSalle Drive. Ohio Street will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, July 27.
