CHICAGO –-(ENEWSPF)–June 19, 2015. Another major portion of the Chicago Shoreline Protection Project is now open, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and officials from the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Chicago Park District (CPD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced today at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Montrose Avenue to Irving Park Road section of the project. This section is part of the ongoing effort to restore and secure 9.5 miles of deteriorated revetment. The project, which Durbin has championed since the mid-1990s, protects the lakefront from erosion and flood damage and improves access for recreational use by rebuilding a running trail.
