CDOT Traffic Alert: N Lake Shore Drive Resurfacing Project & and Bridge Repairs at LSD over LaSalle Drive to start 8/21

August 20, 2018

Lake Shore Drive Repaving Project to Begin on August 27; Two Lanes to be Closed in Both Directions from Monroe to LaSalle Drive Until October 6; Drivers Urged to Reroute to Avoid Delays

The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) announced that it plans to start an accelerated project on August 27, weather permitting, to resurface N. Lake Shore Drive from Monroe St. to Grand Ave. and to make repairs to the bridge that carries Lake Shore Drive over LaSalle Drive.  The accelerated schedule will require lane closures that will reduce Lake Shore Drive to two lanes in each direction from South of Monroe to LaSalle Drive (near North Avenue) for the duration of the project in order to complete the work by October 6, ahead of the Chicago Marathon.

CDOT is advising motorists to take alternate routes to avoid delays, especially during peak travel times.

During the first phase, the two inner lanes of both north and southbound LSD will be closed so that crews can repair and resurface the roadway and ramps at Randolph St., Illinois St. and Lower Wacker Drive. Once that work is complete, the outer lanes will be closed so the roadway and left side entrance and exit ramps can be repaired and repaved.

Advance work for the LSD resurfacing project will start on Monday, August 13. Traffic will be stopped intermittently during off peak hours for 10 to 20 minute intervals on Lower LSD to perform work on the underside of the elevated portions of LSD. Work on the northbound entrance ramps to LSD at Randolph and Illinois will be staged to assure that one ramp is open at all times.  Resurfacing work on the upper level will also require intermittent closures on the lower level.

Advance work at LSD and LaSalle Drive is scheduled to start on August 20, and will require the closure of all but one lane in each direction on LaSalle Drive under LSD for the duration of the project.

CDOT is carrying out the work on an accelerated schedule with around the clock lane closures and crews working double shifts in order to complete the repairs as quickly and safely as possible, with a minimum amount of inconvenience for drivers.

Once the mainline resurfacing is complete, motorists can expect periodic partial lane closures on LSD in both directions for pavement striping and punch list work on both projects. This work will take place during off peak times, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and overnight from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting.

If you are a CityKey cardholder, and you received your card after July 6, 2018, the information will be on the back of your card, just show the pharmacist. If your card was issued before July 6, 2018you can visit www.chicagorxcard.com to download, email or receive a texted Chicago Rx card.
  3. Do I have to register the Chicago Rx card before using it?
    No. This prescription discount card does not require registration or any pre-qualifications. Simply print, text or email a card to yourself and provide the card to your pharmacist at checkout for instant savings.
  4. Does everyone qualify to use the Chicago Rx card?
    Yes. Anyone can use the card, there are no restrictions or pre-qualifications. The card can be used by individuals and family members regardless of a person’s health, age, immigration status, or income, and there are no limits on how many times it can be used. It can also be used for any dependents under the age of 18.
  5. How many pharmacies are in the Chicago Rx card network?
    There are over 59,000 pharmacies in network. Your discount prescription card can be used at all major pharmacy chains, and many independent pharmacies in all 50 states and all U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
  6. How do I locate a participating pharmacy?
    You can find a list of participating pharmacies by using the pharmacy locator on the website at www.chicagorxcard.com.

  8. What prescription drugs medications are discounted with the Chicago Rx card?
    There are over 60,000 prescriptions medications discounted, both brand name and generic medications. Your Chicago Rx card also covers some pet medications!
  9. How much can I save using the Chicago Rx card?

  10. Does the card expire?

  11. Does a cardholder need more than one card for their family?
    No. You can use one card for your entire family; each family member must have a unique ID number. This may be accomplished by adding a 01, 02, etc. for dependents at the end of the original ID number located on the card.
  12. Are some medications covered under the card that other prescription plans do not cover?
    If a health insurance plan does not cover a certain prescription medication, the card may provide a discount. We see this more frequently with people covered under Medicare. The card can also be used to fill pet prescriptions as long as the prescription can be filled at a pharmacy.
  13. What if the cardholder is a Medicare Part D participant?
    Medicare Part D participants are usually 65 years old or older. There is a gap in participant coverage that is called the “donut hole” where Medicare participants must pay out-of-pocket up to a certain amount. The discount prescription card provides an option to help participants in the “donut hole” get relief from high prescription drug prices. The Chicago Rx card has a larger formulary than Medicare, so the card may cover drugs Medicare does not.
  14. Can I use my health insurance card at the same time as the discount prescription card?
    No. Two cards may not be used at the same time – so unfortunately, you can’t combine both insurance savings and card savings. However, if a prescription drug is not covered by your insurance, use the discount prescription card to receive your discount. Note: If your prescription is covered by insurance, compare the price with insurance applied to the price with the card discount – and choose whichever price is cheaper!
  15. Is the discount card considered insurance?
    No. The card is not insurance and it is not intended to replace insurance
