Motorists heading down Outer Drive this fall should expect their drive to take a little longer.

Through around mid-November, Combined Sewer Overflow construction will reduce traffic to one lane each way on Outer Drive, north of Michigan Avenue. The construction is due to the wrapup of the CSO project just west of Outer Drive.

The construction will include the replacement of roadway pavement and new curbs, gutters, driveway approaches and sidewalks.
