Renovations to an historic Chicago street that winds above and below the city's downtown are almost complete. State and city transportation officials Thursday showcased some of the $303 million in improvements to Wacker Drive. That includes wider lanes, more lighting and extra room for pedestrians. The project is to finish in December.
