"Now I have to go up to Kelly, " says Logan Square resident Ashley Albano. "I don't know when it's supposed to open. It's been closed for what feels like a long time."

The Streets Department tells Action News it's "committed to maintaining a safe and compliant project and will resume repair operations once conditions and temperatures improve."
