Summary
Chicago is officially in spring bridge-lifting season, when 27 bridges along the Main and South Branches of the Chicago River will lift twice a week to accommodate boats. As several bridges remain closed for construction, we are wondering about the state of Chicago’s bridges. Host Jacoby Cochran and creative producer Michelle Navarro are discussing results from the most recent federal inspection. Plus, the Red Line Extension officially breaks ground, and folks are lining up early for the city’s newest bagel shop.
