Chicago Skyway Reopens After Closure

Traffic Resumes After Earlier Shutdown

Delays Possible as Crews Continue Work

The Chicago Skyway has reopened after being closed in both directions earlier Thursday between 91st and 106th streets. The closure, which began at 2:20 a.m., was caused by a semi-trailer truck fire. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the roadway was damaged and had to be repaired.

Traffic resumed around 5:30 a.m., but delays are possible as crews continue to work on the roadway. Motorists are advised to allow for extra travel time.

Conclusion

The closure of the Chicago Skyway caused significant delays for commuters during the morning rush hour. However, the roadway has now reopened and traffic is flowing smoothly. Motorists should be aware that there may still be some residual delays in the area.
