The NASCAR street closures are officially here—here's what to know
It wouldn't be summer in Chicago if you weren't worried about your commute in one way or another, especially along the lake front. And now there's an additional cause for concern: The 2025 NASCAR Chicago Street Race will return to Grant Park for its third edition on Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 6, which means street closures will be in full effect ahead of the event throughout the Loop for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It's one thing if you're planning on attending the festivities (including the headlining performance from the Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band) and it's another if you're just trying to get to work. RECOMMENDED: You can eat a tasting menu right on the NASCAR Chicago race track this summer Having kicked off on June 19, closures will commence in phases with Balbo Drive between Columbus Drive and DuSable Lake Shore Drive shutting down, followed by Ida B. Wells Drive, Congress Plaza Drive, and Michigan Avenue. By race weekend on July 5 and 6, you can expect all roads around Grant Park to be off-limits to vehicular traffic, including: DuSable Lake Shore Drive between McFetridge Drive and Randolph Street.

According to the OEMC, all businesses and residences will remain accessible during course setup, race weekend and the break-down. The traffic congestion will affect Chicagoans for a total of 18 days, which is graciously less than the inaugural event in 2023, yet it's still a significant inconvenience for local drivers. Plan ahead to avoid frustration and time stuck in traffic!
