NAVY PIER FLYOVERENHANCING CHICAGO’S LAKEFRONT TRAIL
PHASE 3: OVER THE CHICAGO RIVER The Navy Pier Flyover is an elevated path for safer walking and biking along the Lakefront Trail near Navy Pier — one of the most heavily used portions of the 18.5-mile trail.
The dedicated bike and pedestrian path will extend from the Chicago River Bridge to Jane Addams Park and provide a safer and scenic alternative to several congested intersections along the Lakefront Trail. The elevated path will include ground-level entrance and exit points.
Navy Pier Flyover construction work has entered its third and final phase. In this phase, crews are rehabilitating the moveable bridge over the Chicago River to accommodate the widened Lakefront Trail path.
The third phase of construction will be completed in multiple stages with varied traffic impacts. Updates on these stages and traffic impacts will be released ahead of major project milestones.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
PEDESTRIANS & BICYCLISTSBoth the west and east sidewalks on Lower Lake Shore Drive across the Chicago River bridge will remain closed in spring 2020. Starting March 16, pedestrians and bicyclists will be moved into a new, temporary two-way path created in a protected northbound traffic lane to maintain access to the Lakefront Trail.
See next page for Vehicle Impact.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
VEHICLES In spring 2020, crews will complete Stage 3 of Phase 3 of the Navy Pier Flyover project. Starting March 16, this stage of the project will close the two easternmost, northbound lanes on Lower Lake Shore Drive over the Chicago River. During this closure, access to Illinois Street and Grand Avenue from the northbound lanes of Lower Lake Shore Drive will be restricted, and a detour will be set up to Columbus Avenue.
Northbound traffic crossing the river will only be able to access the entrance ramp to northbound Upper Lake Shore Drive. All other turning movements to and from Lower Lake Shore Drive will be maintained.
