Shortly after Alex Bowman came out victorious Sunday night in a rain-soaked Grant Park 165 in downtown Chicago, the city began reopening the streets that had been closed for the NASCAR track and festivities.
The Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications began the process Sunday night. The northbound portion of DuSable Lake Shore Drive opened Monday morning at 6 a.m.
The section of Michigan Avenue that was closed for the race between Roosevelt Road and Monroe Street is expected to open by noon Monday, with one lane closed on Michigan between Van Buren Street and Jackson Boulevard.
The southbound section of DuSable Lake Shore Drive is expected to open back up by Tuesday at 11 p.m.
Other streets closed due to the race will be reopened once the wall, fence and viewing structures are torn down by, at the latest, July 18.
