 Wacker Construction Moving to Monroe and Adams

Revive Wacker Drive, Part 2 remains on-schedule and on-budget CHICAGO –The Chicago Department of Transportation will start the next stage of Wacker Drive rebuilding on January 9 by beginning the construction of the Monroe Street and Adams Street intersections after completing the Madison Street intersection on-time and on-budget. The $300million reconstruction of Wacker Drive, which will completely rebuild and modernize the upper and lower levels of the nearly 60-year-old roadway, is scheduled for completion in late-2012. This stage of construction will close the Monroe Street and Adams Street intersections until summer, and the Madison Street intersection will be re-opened to all traffic. “Our crews continue to work efficiently to meet the demands of a very aggressive construction schedule,” said CDOT Commissioner Gabe Klein. “We will maintain that same level of efficiency in 2012 so that motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists can again have full access to this vital roadway and the businesses that surround it.” Pedestrian Impacts East-West Sidewalks along Madison Street will re-open to all pedestrian traffic. CDOT will also maintain a pedway on the north side of Monroe Street at Wacker Drive. Jackson Boulevard remains open to all pedestrian traffic. North-South Pedestrians can continue to use Canal Street and Franklin Street for north-south travel. The sidewalk along the east side of Wacker Drive from Jackson Boulevard will remain open to allow access to Willis Tower’s Wacker Drive entrance. All buildings and businesses near the construction zone will remain open and accessible throughout the project. Please visit www.wackerdrive.org to view the pedestrian and building access map for complete details. Vehicle & Bicycle Impacts East-West Madison Street will re-open the week of Jan. 9 to all westbound traffic. Jackson remains open to all eastbound traffic.

The Wacker Drive Reconstruction Project 2012 Beginning January 9, 2012 Stage 3 of the Wacker Drive Reconstruction project will begin. The Madison viaduct will be opened to traffic and work will continue on Wacker from Monroe to south of Adams, with closures from Canal to Franklin. Travel routes will need to be adjusted to accommodate the new traffic configuration. The closure of Wacker from Monroe to Adams, includes the ramps from Upper to Lower Wacker. Below are directions to assist in navigating around the construction project. To access Lower Wacker- take Franklin to Lake Street to Post Place. Access from the east, at Lake Shore Drive is unchanged. If you take Interstate 90/94 (Dan Ryan/ Kennedy)- use the Washington Blvd east exit. Jackson will remain open but is often congested at Union Station during peak hours. If you take Interstate 290 (Eisenhower) or Interstate 55 (Stevenson) proceed to 90/94 and use the Washington Blvd (east) exit. If you take Lake Shore Drive proceed to Randolph west to Franklin for upper Wacker access, or use the Lower Wacker exit.
