DOWNTOWN — A few weeks after closing one ramp connecting Wacker and Lake Shore drives, the city is shutting down another. 

A ramp from eastbound Lower Wacker Drive to southbound Lake Shore Drive was closed Monday morning for an approximately three-week rehabilitation project, the Chicago Department of Transportation said. 

The closure follows earlier work affecting westbound Wacker Drive, CDOT said. That project is complete. 

CDOT advises motorists to take alternate routes to access southbound Lake Shore Drive if possible. A marked detour takes traffic from eastbound Lower Wacker via southbound Columbus Drive to eastbound Randolph Street to Lake Shore. From Upper Wacker, the detour will go south on Columbus, west down the ramp on South Water Street to southbound Stetson Avenue, east on Lower Lake Street, south on Columbus and east on Randolph to Lake Shore.
