Normally talk of a dumpster fire on the Dan Ryan would lead you to think we are talking about something near 35th St (Sorry Sox fans, you know it's true). But no, this one is on the OB Ryan past 71st. Fire crews have the right lane and the ramp to 75th blocked. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social

A miserable morning for traffic trying to get from Downtown to O'Hare as the OB Kennedy remains closed from the Edens to Lawrence with a crash investigation. Use Elston or Milwaukee Ave to avoid being forced to the OB Edens today. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social

Oopsie! Going to be a long day for one semi driver on SB I-65 at State Road 2 near Lowell. The left lane is blocked after this big rig ended up on its side. A heavy tow is on the way to get this cleaned up but it may take a while. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social

Progress we can see! Crews are in the Kennedy express lanes this morning conducting more testing. IDOT says sometime next week we should get access to the express lanes once again after being shut down for almost 10 months!

Better late than never?!? Crews are FINALLY moving the barricades from overnight construction on WB I-80/94 past Ripley. The 2 right lanes were supposed to be cleared at 6am, resulting in 7 miles of misery starting well before State Road 249. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social

From our pal Kris Habermehl at CBS News Chicago, the work continues in the Kennedy express lanes. No word from IDOT yet on when Chicago Traffic will have access to them once again. @wbbmnewsradio.bsky.social

5 miles of traffic (mostly semis) moving at glacial speeds NB I-65 approaching US 231 in Crown Point. That's where crews work to clear a rollover semi and you're just getting by on the right side. Take SR 2 to US 231 or SR 55 instead of slogging through this mess.
