All lanes have reopened.
All OB Edens traffic is now being forced off at Old Orchard Road due to a rolled over semi. Expect solid delays into the detour, with roadwork reducing OO to one lane east of the Edens. Skokie Blvd or Waukegan Road to miss the mess. More at https://t.co/vhbRxCdj7J pic.twitter.com/oLPHENwFj7
