Major Backup After Accident On Chicago Skyway
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Motorists on the Chicago Skyway can expect major delays this afternoon after an accident blocked all outbound lanes.
The accident happened around 1 p.m.
Per @IDOT_Illinois, crews are closing the outbound Dan Ryan exit to the EB Skyway, due to the Skyway crash closure. http://t.co/s5fSRE09Or

Again, don't get on the EB Chicago Skyway; you'll get stuck in a massive backup, get forced off at 92nd, *and* still have to pay a $4+ toll/
