Due to the current weather forecast, and projected snowfall for the remainder of the week, the Kinzie Street\u00a0Bridge closure has been postponed to\u00a0Tuesday, February 13, starting at 2:00am. \u00a0The bridge will reopen to\u00a0traffic on Monday, February 19, 5:00am.<\/p>\n
The Kinzie Street Bridge over the North Branch of the Chicago River must be closed, and the single leaf bridge\u00a0raised, to allow the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) to perform needed repairs. This repair work\u00a0will also help eliminate any noisy metal on metal sounds from the bridge.<\/p>\n

\nMotorists traveling east on Kinzie should take Desplaines south to Lake, proceed east on Lake to Wacker, east on\u00a0Wacker to LaSalle, and then take LaSalle north to Kinzie.<\/p>\n
Motorists traveling west on Kinzie should take LaSalle south to Wacker, proceed west on Wacker to Lake, west on\u00a0Lake to Desplaines, and then take Desplaines north to Kinzie.<\/p>\n
