The closure will begin 9 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, according to a statement from the Chicago Department of Transportation.
Detour routes for drivers and bicyclists will be available, CDOT said. Westbound traffic will be detoured to Wacker and drivers will be able to go south on Van Buren or north on Madison to continue west across the river.
