On Nov. 9, Chicago lost its Dan Ryan exit to the Museum Campus for two weeks; drivers need a new route to Soldier Field, and three CTA train lines suddenly look a lot better
Chicago, we need to talk about the Dan Ryan. Again. The Roosevelt-Taylor exit ramp off the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway closed Monday morning, Nov. 9, and it’s expected to stay closed for about two weeks , according to ABC7 Chicago . So if your muscle memory takes you up the Ryan and off at Roosevelt every time you head to the South Loop, Soldier Field or the Museum Campus, it’s time to retrain it. Nobody asked for this. And yet. Here we are. With another Dan Ryan ramp closure. Why is the Dan Ryan exit at Roosevelt closed? Peoples Gas. Crews have been installing an underground energy main in the area, and the company plans to restore Ruble Street once that’s done. Peoples Gas says the new pipe will make energy more reliable for residents and businesses nearby. Great for them. Less great for your Saturday plans. When will the Roosevelt/Taylor ramp reopen? The closure is expected to last about two weeks, which would put a reopening around Monday, Nov. 23 . That’s our math, not an official date. And if you’ve lived in Chicago for more than a week, you know how construction timelines tend to go. We’ll update
