Thermal expansion. The heat from the hot summer temperatures caused the steel of the bridge to expand.
It’s bridge lift for tall masted yachts to enter into the lake, happens every year.. this is why you pay attention to news
I just sat in this shit for an hour! Thank God some pickup truck driver decided to make a U turn in the middle of traffic to take the shoulder to get off at the nearest exit. We all followed him. Thankyou random pickup man
This was announced by OEMC ahead of time: NotifyChicago: On Wed., 9/2 the DuSable Lake Shore Drive Bridge will be lifted at 12:15pm for Chicago River access for the Spirit of Chicago.
Bridge lifting is nothing new but usually it's a 10/15 min thing tops
