Starting at 11 p.m. Saturday, the ramp from the inbound Stevenson Expressway to northbound Lake Shore Drive will be closed until 7 a.m.Sunday, June 25. A posted detour will direct northbound Stevenson traffic to take the southbound Lake Shore Drive ramp, exit at 31st Street and reenter northbound Lake Shore Drive.
Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
