I heard from a fellow commuter that a section of the sidewalk near the Chicago River collapsed last night and apparently there was some sort of super-funky detour set up where you could ride southbound in a closed lane of the street of northbound lower LSD and use a maintenance gate to get your bike back onto the path just south of the river. Still sounds sketchy, but sounds way better than the detour you and I took.
Yes, there is a section of sidewalk completely *missing*, which is why it's closed. I and a few other cyclists were able to go north through the coned-off construction area (with the help of some nice CDOT workers) and use that maintenance gate to get back onto the path south of the bridge.

Sam, were you able to ride this way home tonight (northbound over the river)? Anyone else? I guess I'll find out the situation in a couple of hours, having avoided it this morning by going all the way over to Columbus.
