Lanes reopen on Congress Pkwy.
Three westbound lanes on the Congress Parkway bridge over the Chicago River downtown were closed Wednesday as crews completed repairs of rough spots in the steel-grate decking that could damage vehicle tires, officials said. To keep traffic away from workers, all but one of the westbound lanes were closed, snarling traffic traveling over the bridge to access the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Dan Ryan Expressways. All westbound lanes were open as of 5:30 p.m., officials said.
