Crack in bridge support shuts down part of Lake Shore Drive

A portion of northbound Lake Shore Drive in the Loop will be closed at least until Tuesday evening due to a crack in a steel beam supporting the bridge.

Chicago Department of Transportation officials said Monday evening that they were working to put a shoring tower in place under the viaduct structure, which supports Lake Shore over the ramp from Randolph Street and were hopeful they could reopen northbound lanes Tuesday evening.

Crews on 12-hour shifts worked Monday night to erect the temporary support towers.
