HI
EVERYBODY!!
This Wacker Drive must be a pretty important road, cause it seems like it's gonna take FOREVER to get it done. Phil says it will only be until November of 2002 (which still seems a long way away to me.)
See you later!
Wacker Drive Reconstruction Phase 2June 11th marked the beginning of Phase 2 of the Wacker Drive Reconstruction project. These pictures show the progress in some areas that were also on the previous page, as well some shots from INSIDE the construction site itself!

Preparations
for knocking down Wacker Dr. between Michigan Ave. and State Street. |
More
on that part of the project to come later. |
Wacker
Dr. west of State Street, very close to completion. |
 |
 |
 |
If
you look closely, you can see the street slope up to meet the Dearborn
Street bridge. |
Remember
the guys working where they were standing...well, you can't get anywhere
from here. Or to here for that matter. |
Another
stairway to nowhere. |

Wacker
Dr., just east of LaSalle St. bridge. |

trying
to draw power from the gods themselves. |
This
is the first of some shots I took from INSIDE the construction site. |

Another
shot of the bridge tender station. |
The
lower Wacker Dr. parking lot entrances are still open, but can you get
to them? |
The
old westbound lanes of Wacker Dr., heading to LaSalle Street. |

Can
I get a loan for new street here? |
Looking
east, towards Clark Street. |
