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.
Drill rigs and other equipment have been spotted at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)’s future medical building in the Illinois Medical District. Officially known as the UI Health Outpatient Surgery Center and Specialty Clinics, the six-floor, 200,000-square-foot project broke ground last month, with foundation work progressing rapidly.
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.
