Bank of America Chicago Marathon – Sunday, October 13, 2019

To help ease automobile access marathon morning during street closures the little strip of inner Lake Shore Dr. in front of 3180 that is normally one-way southbound will become a two-way street under Chicago Police supervision.

This will allow drivers east of Sheridan to get on outer Lake Shore Drive at Belmont all morning and will allow Presence Saint Joseph Hospital staff easy egress.

Red line shows where street will be two-way marathon morning.
