Fullerton Bridge Project
The Chicago Department of Transportation reconstructed the Fullerton Parkway Bridge in 2012. This project was approved by the Plan Commission in May 2011.
The plan will:
- reconstruct the historic bridge and remove a pier to improve the lagoon
- create two turning lanes onto Lake Shore Drive
- move pedestrian access to the lakefront to the north side of the street to improve safety
- stop accidents between pedestrians and cars trying to enter south-bound Lake Shore Drive
- reconstruct the running path underneath the bridge
- make pedestrian access to the lakefront ADA compliant
