Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge in Heavy Traffic

Traffic Backups Mount on Iconic Chicago Landmark

Delays Expected for Evening Commute

Motorists are facing significant delays on the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge due to heavy traffic. The congestion is primarily due to the ongoing construction work on the bridge, which has reduced the number of lanes available for travel. Travelers are advised to allow for extra time when crossing the bridge or seek alternate routes.

The Chicago Skyway Bridge is a critical transportation link between the city and its southern suburbs. The bridge carries over 100,000 vehicles daily and is a major artery for both commuters and commercial traffic. The construction work is part of a long-term project to rehabilitate the bridge and extend its lifespan.

The traffic delays are expected to continue for several months as the construction project progresses. Motorists are urged to be patient and follow the directions of traffic control personnel. Live traffic updates and alternative route information are available on the Illinois Department of Transportation website.
