Lake Shore Drive Repaving Project Reaches Major Milestone: Lane Configurations will Change as early as mid-day Thursday

September 12, 2018

The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) announced that the North Lake Shore Drive repaving project between Monroe St. and Grand Ave. is ahead of schedule. Shortly after morning rush hour on Thursday, September 13, construction crews are expected to change traffic configurations on N. LSD.  Drivers should notice an improved commute as they will be driving on newly resurfaced lanes between Monroe St. and Grand Ave.

The new traffic pattern will re-open the inner two lanes of traffic in each direction and close the outer two lanes northbound and southbound.  Additionally, at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, the northbound exit ramp from LSD to Illinois St. and the southbound exit ramp to Randolph St. will be closed for repairs and resurfacing.  Also, at 7:00 p.m., DuSable Harbor parking will be restricted.  The northbound exit at Randolph St. and the ramp from Randolph St. to Lower LSD will remain open until work on the Illinois St. ramps is completed.  Once Illinois St. reopens, the Randolph St. ramps will be resurfaced. There may also be periodic closures of Lower LSD and Wacker Dr. to ensure worker and motorist safety if surface work requires extensive repairs.

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. Currently, the project remains on schedule.

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.

CDOT continues to encourage motorist to seek alternative routes or public transportation until the project is completed.

  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
