Construction limits access to Chicago's 'Bean' until 2024
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicagoans and tourists hoping to snap selfies at the popular Millennium Park sculpture known as "The Bean" won't be able to get up close starting Tuesday.
Construction at Grainger Plaza, which surrounds the mirrored sculpture officially dubbed "Cloud Gate" begins on Tuesday, and will continue through next spring, limiting access to the site.
Repairs will include replacing damaged pavers and upgrading accessibility.
Please be advised that construction on Grainger Plaza surrounding Cloud Gate (aka “The Bean”) in #MillenniumPark will begin around August 15, 2023 and continue through the spring of 2024. During this time, public access and views of Cloud Gate will be limited. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/ubUjmtHzl6
