Ryan McGuffeyHOST
of a new ballpark at what has been dubbed the rail yards, the current Amtrak location, right on the bank of the Chicago River, across from the 78 location, the Chicago Fire building.
Ryan McGuffeyHOST
I know there's been some feelings about this ballpark.
Ryan McGuffeyHOST
Before we go into the renderings and the location, I think one thing is certain.
speaker_6HOST
Do you think this was an accident? You gotta let me know in the comments.
speaker_6HOST
where the leak wasn't taken seriously at first, where it turned into a breach near the Chicago River with eventually hundreds of millions of gallons of water flowing into the tunnel system and into the sub-basements of many Chicago buildings.
speaker_6HOST
Again, I'm going to ask, knowing what we know, do you think this was an accident or do you think this was a destruction project? Where a man named Bruce had his 15 minutes of fame because he was the only recognized expert on the tunnel system.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Where the great majority
Justin KaufmannGUEST
Anyway, ISHPE is interested in relocating the White Sox, obviously, with the renderings they put out this past weekend.
Justin KaufmannGUEST
They're looking at the Amtrak maintenance facility, which is the train tracks just south of Roosevelt Road in the South Loop along the Chicago River.
Justin KaufmannGUEST
And that is an area where he wants to essentially own that land for a mega development, which would include residences and restaurants and, of course, a stadium.
Justin KaufmannGUEST
This is how this works.
RyanHOST
That finally answered some questions.
RyanHOST
You and I brought this up when they first talked about moving the stadium across from the 78, across the south branch of the Chicago River, adjacent to the 78 where the soccer stadium is being built now, but where the Amtrak rail yard is.
RyanHOST
We were trying to figure out how they can move the majority of the rail yard, but that's still an active rail line with the Metra and Amtrak coming in there.
RyanHOST
all day long every day uh but this rendering at least sort of answered that how it just sort of there's room for a few tracks left it just removes the all the excess rail yard rails i guess
Diane PathieuHOST
How about now? Can you hear me now? All right, good, great.
Diane PathieuHOST
Okay, so the DuSable Lakeshore Drive bridge over the Chicago River, they've got to close it, and it's happening tonight, but it's not just tonight.
Diane PathieuHOST
Heads up, we've got closures nightly until Wednesday the 16th, so next Wednesday.
Diane PathieuHOST
Again, the DuSable Lakeshore Drive bridge, for those of you unfamiliar, it's the one that goes over the Chicago River.
Diane PathieuHOST

Diane PathieuHOST

Meantime, the DuSable Lakeshore Drive bridge over the Chicago River will shut down again tonight.
Tonya BabichHOST
Crews are performing maintenance and electrical testing to help prevent a repeat of last week's bridge problem.

Perhaps you'll recall the extreme heat that shut down the bridge for hours when it wouldn't come down flush after a bridge lift.
