Just received this email. Pass it on to other drivers you know.
FYI - and you may have seen this but wanted to give you a heads up if not
Please advise your drivers this week that a large Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest is planned for the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/I-94) in Chicago this Saturday, August 15 at noon CST. Illinois Trucking Association officials have confirmed with Illinois State Police that the three BLM groups are coordinating this event.
For the safety of our professional truck drivers, ITA is advising trucking companies to be sure their trucks can avoid the Dan Ryan Expressway this Saturday, August 15.
For specific questions, please contact Matt Hart at the Illinois Trucking Association.
Avoid Chicago Sat 15th.

You can use 294 to go around but everyone is doing that so who knows?
Even if 90/94 is open at 3am I wouldn't drive there. Best thing to do is as OP said and avoid the area. -
Rocks Thanks this.

If a truck driver was intentionally blocking an interstate, the cops would throw him in jail in a heartbeat.
Rocks, Kyle G., TheLoadOut and 8 others Thank this.
