Navy Pier Flyover’s First Phase Opens to Public
The first section of the Navy Pier Flyover opened Thursday, furthering the Emanuel administration’s goal of improving lakefront access via its “Building on Burnham” initiative. Completion of phase one connects the two halves of the Lakefront Trail, meaning that trail users no longer need to cross two busy streets.
“The Lakefront Trail is one of Chicago’s jewels, and this investment will create a seamless connection between the north and south sides of the Trail,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
The project’s second phase is underway with construction of a segment over Ogden Slip and DuSable Park that will connect to Lower Lake Shore Drive. This segment is due for completion by late spring 2019. Work on the third phase will start in early 2019.
Funding for the project is coming from federal and state sources. To get it completed within existing resources, the construction schedule has been spread over several years.
