There will be lane and ramp closures on the Stevenson Expy. as workers\u00a0prepare\u00a0to open a\u00a0new two-lane ramp to\u00a0northbound Lake Shore Drive.<\/p>\n
The closures will\u00a0happen overnight and in the early morning next week so workers can put in new\u00a0overhead signs. At the end, a two-lane ramp from the northbound\u00a0Stevenson Expy.\u00a0to northbound Lake Shore Drive will be opened.<\/p>\n
The northbound Stevenson will be reduced to one lane between the Dan Ryan Expy. and Lake Shore Drive\u00a010 p.m.-5 a.m. Monday through Oct. 5, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. All\u00a0lanes will be closed for some 15-minute periods between 1-5 a.m. those days.<\/p>\n
