Lanes Reopen After Multi-Vehicle Crash on Inbound I-57 on Chicago’s South Side

A fast clearance kept backups from spreading to the Dan Ryan.

Overview

  • A multi-vehicle collision involving a semi-trailer on inbound I-57 near Halsted Street was reported Tuesday around 7:55 a.m., according to Illinois State Police.
  • All northbound lanes were blocked at 9 a.m. between 119th Street and the Dan Ryan merge and reopened by 9:40 a.m., state police said.
  • Troopers reported no injuries from the crash.
  • Officials have not said what caused the crash or how many vehicles were involved, and the investigation continues.
  • Because I-57 funnels drivers into the Dan Ryan Expressway, a fast response today likely spared many South Side commuters longer delays.
