Fire damage will constrict traffic on a ramp merging southbound lanes of Chicago’s two busiest expressways for more than a week, state Department of Transportation officials said Friday.
A rubbish fire Wednesday evening did “extensive damage” to steel beams under the right lanes of the outbound ramp of the Dan Ryan Expressway that feeds into outbound lanes of the Stevenson Expressway. A single lane — on the left — will remain open while crews undertake temporary repairs and a more in-depth inspection of the damage.
