Bridge lift season: About three weeks to go

Leave a Comment

The Chicago River bridge lift season is winding down, and scheduled to end Nov. 14.

Lifts occur Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting at Lake Michigan and continue down the Main and South Branches of the Chicago River.

Wednesday lifts begin at 9:30 a.m. and impact the downtown area — especially Lake Shore Driver — between 9:30 and 11:30 am.

Saturday lifts begin at 9:00 a.m. and impact the down area between 9:00 and 11:00 am.

Each bridge lift lasts an average of 8-12 minutes.
