The City of Chicago has announced the commencement of the autumn bridge lifts on Saturday, September 21 at 9:00 a.m. Following this initiation, bridges along the main and south branches of the Chicago River will be lifted sequentially twice weekly, on Saturdays and Wednesdays. This operation allows sailboats and other recreational boats to transition from Lake Michigan to their winter storage facilities. The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) oversees these biannual bridge lifts.
