Crash On Bishop Ford Blocks Inbound Lanes Near 159th Street
Traffic on the Bishop Ford is backed up coming from Indiana.
MARKHAM, IL - Traffic on the Bishop Ford Freeway heading into Chicago is slow Friday morning after what media reports as a "serious crash" that has blocked all but the shoulder lane. While outbound traffic toward Indiana looks to be clear, backups are apparent in the inbound lanes. WBBM Traffic sent out the following tweet around 10:30 a.m., showing the effects of the delay.
