Every time I see something like this, I remember that the Pentagon was built in 16 months.

That would explain why they created a massive bottleneck at Oak Street Beach in October 2014 and have only put pylons in by Navy Pier. The fill-in at Fullerton's going much faster.

Phase 2/3 will kill the Path for 2+ years

The construction has already proven to be very unbike friendly unless they use jersey barriers to make a bike lane in what is now trafic on the bridge I don't see how they will keep this open to Foot/pedal trafic while they work on the bridge

It is hard to believe it can take this long. I bike by this area most days and see these guys working hard but this doesn't smell right. Maybe the design is overly complicated?
