CHICAGO (CBS) -- Look for IDOT graffiti crews across the Chicago expressway system this week.

There will be shoulder closures and brief lane closures from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

IDOT spends hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to remove graffiti.

Even the recently renovated Jane Byrne Interchange is splattered with unauthorized public art.
