CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - NASCAR will soon be driving through Downtown Chicago, and drivers are already being thrown for a “Loop."
As of this weekend Ida B. Wells Drive is fully closed from Michigan Avenue to Columbus Drive, with the adjacent sidewalks closing as well, as the preparations continue for the big NASCAR Street Race the first weekend of July.
While NASCAR drivers are revving up for the next four weeks, Chicagoans are advised to use both Jackson Drive and Balbo Drive as alternates.
The left-turns for Chicago cars, cabs, rideshares, buses and pedestrians will continue. The next set of closures is scheduled to take effect next Sunday and Monday, June 18-19, with a full closure of Jackson from Michigan to Columbus.
