DOWNTOWN — A ramp connecting Lake Shore Drive to westbound Upper Wacker Drive has been closed for rehabilitation, a project that the city expects will last two weeks.

DNAinfo Chicago noticed the closure Wednesday morning. When asked, the Chicago Department of Transportation said the closure would last about two weeks.

Motorists are advised to take alternate routes during the roadwork. Until the ramp reopens a marked detour will take traffic from southbound Columbus Drive to westbound East South Water Street, which feeds into East Wacker Place, and then north on Wabash Avenue to connect with Upper Wacker Drive.
