Road Construction at MDW until 6/20
I was giving MDW a shot as all of the contruction at ORD has been irritating lately, I had my fill of waiting through Thursday evening backups on 190, walking down the makeshift stairs to catch the ATS train, etc. Much to my surprise, There is road construction on Cicero AVE, just before the entrance to MDW. They are condensing 3 lanes of traffic into 1. The resulting backup begins until before the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) overpass. Flyers going to MDW should allow at least 30 extra minutes creep the 2 or so miles to Midway in the back up or use an alternate route. The project is to be completed by June 20th.

Updating. I dont' think the delays have been too bad. An extra 10 minutes should be enough. The construction zones are relatively short, and MDW is close enough to 55 that the backups have not been very long in the few trips I've made lately.
