The Illinois Tollway has informed the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) that a full closure of the Stearns School Road Bridge is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 15 as part of a project to replace the 70‐year‐old bridge over the Tri‐State Tollway (I‐94).
To safely accommodate construction of a new bridge and to reduce the duration of work, the Stearns School Road Bridge will be closed to traffic for nine months. The full closure and a traffic detour are necessary because the bridge is too narrow to accommodate traffic while safely providing a work zone to complete the removal and reconstruction of the bridge.

I have raised 14 children who have attended Chicago Public Schools, as a biological parent, a primary caregiver and a grandmother. I know that children learn in different ways, and I know that parents best know their own children’s strengths and weaknesses. The perspective of parents is most needed on the Chicago Public Schools Board of Education.
The Sun-Times recently endorsed a hybrid School Board for CPS, meaning the board would have some members appointed by the mayor and some elected by the public. The best way to ensure that any new board is responsive to the needs of CPS parents is to make sure that parents get a say in what the new board looks like and serve as members. The majority of board members should be current CPS parents, some with experience serving on local school councils, and the racial and geographic diversity of the board should closely resemble the demographics of CPS students.
