Work is nearing completion for the third and final stretch of Navy Pier Flyover, a 1,750-foot-long elevated bikeway/walkway that replaces a portion of the Lakefront trail near the namesake pier. Planned by the Department of Transportation, the project will reconcile the paths to the north and the south, previously encumbered by uneven terrain and water.
Photos show the progress of the supporting columns for the eventual Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Red-Purple Bypass rail set to rapidly increase L efficiency for the Brown, Purple, and Red Lines crossing through the Lake View neighborhood.
Recent photos show construction nearing completion for the final section of the Navy Pier Flyover, an above-grade portion of the Lakefront Trail that stretches close to third of a mile in length. Due to its staggered development timeline, the project currently serves cyclists and pedestrians via its completed first two phases, while the third phase alongside Outer Drive Bridge is still under construction.
Construction is nearly two-thirds complete for the infrastructure improvements on the Jane Byrne (formerly Circle) Interchange, near the southern edge of West Loop.
