\nThe Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) needs to repair a section of roadway grating on the Chicago\u00a0Avenue Bridge. \u00a0This repair work will also help eliminate any noisy metal on metal sounds from the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\u2022 Those traveling westbound on Chicago, should take Chicago to Larrabee, proceed north on Larrabee to\u00a0Division, proceed west on Division to Halsted, then proceed south on Halsted to Chicago.<\/div>\n
