The city is starting its spring bridge lifts, from Ashland to Lake Shore Drive. It's to let sailboats move from their storage facilities to lakefront harbors.
That's 27 bridges over the Chicago River going up throughout the day. Each one takes about 10 minutes, but that's nothing compared to the four hour journey for the boats to reach the lake.
