Evacuation drill to close West Loop streets | Chicago Tribune
At 9:30 a.m., Des Plaines Street will be closed between Madison and Adams Streets, according to the CTA. Other closures will include the eastbound lanes of Madison from Halsted Street to Des Plaines, and the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate Highway 90-94) exit ramps at Monroe Street and Madison.

At or after 3:30 p.m., closures will take place on Wacker Drive from Madison to Adams Streets, and along Monroe Street from Franklin to Halsted Streets, the CTA said. The Lower Wacker entrance and exit ramp at Monroe will also be closed. The CTA said it expects these closures to end by 7 p.m.

There will also be intermittent closures of Canal, Clinton and Jefferson Streets at Monroe during the drill. Traffic will be allowed to pass periodically through Monroe.

If not too busy tomorrow, might sneak and take a few photos, and try not to get arrested for aiding and abetting, or whatever.
