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.

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

Last time I used the Ohio River Cairo Bridge, it was down to 1 lane with a signal controlling the traffic on the bridge. That was 3 years ago.

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.

United Airlines says they are starting a VTOL air service from the Loop to O'Hare using new electric aircraft. They were timing the announcement to the long planned Kennedy rebuild.
$100/each way. About the same as a Uber Black.

The second Mayor Daley made sure that never happened. Personally, I'm fine with Meigs Field gone.
