DuSable Lake Shore Drive resurfacing closes lanes, frustrating drivers

As summer approaches, construction projects are in full swing across Chicago, leading to increased traffic delays for commuters.

CHICAGO - There will be lane closures on DuSable Lake Shore Drive this week beginning Sunday night. 

The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) says the lane closures are related to the ongoing resurfacing of DLSD between LaSalle Drive and Lawrence Avenue. 

The work will include final resurfacing of the southbound lanes, which will require an overnight full closure of southbound DLSD between Lawrence Avenue and Irving Park Road tonight into Monday. 

The full schedule for this week is as follows:  

Sunday, June 11: Beginning at 5 p.m., southbound DLSD will be reduced to one lane between Lawrence Avenue and Irving Park Road. The southbound entrance ramp at Lawrence Avenue, the exit and entrance ramp at Wilson Avenue, Montrose Avenue, and Irving Park Road will be closed. At 7 p.m., southbound DLSD will be CLOSED between Lawrence Avenue and Irving Park Road. All lanes will reopen at approximately 6 a.m.
