Just before noon on Monday, the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communication announced northbound lanes on Lake Shore Drive are closed to Grand Avenue because of a “structural emergency.”
According to the Chicago Department of Transportation, a beam is cracked at an on-ramp and the problem is unlikely to be resolved by evening rush hour.
It’s not clear when the beam cracked.
This story will be updated as new details emerge.
