Proud to say I actually played a part in the design work on this project. Not a huge amount, but more than I could've really ever said before!

Unfortunately, I do think this is going to cause a mess for people driving on the north side. Will be interesting to see how bad backups spill up north and west.

For the last few years, I could occasionally get across Chicago faster using I-90 through downtown v.s. the Tri-State. Looks like that's not happening for a while.

Of course - they don't communicate at all with ISTHA.

IDOT just shared this at 4:00.

The US 60/62 bridge over the Mississippi River at Cairo is closed to traffic after a routine inspection found critical issues. It will remain closed until repairs can be made. A detour will be posted.

Ruh Roh.  Glad I survived driving across it a month ago! I waited since July 2008 to revisit that bridge, and I'm glad I didn't wait another month beyond what I did!

At least the MS River Cairo bridge has redundancy with the I-57 bridge. The OH River Cairo bridge…well at least IDOT and KYTC have a plan to replace it
