25-Nov-14 – When workers building the Chicago Riverwalk return on Friday after Thanksgiving, they will be assembling the walls of the restrooms. Public restrooms will be located between Clark Street and LaSalle Street.

They will continue installing…

  • Pathways and planters between State Street and Clark Street.
  • Granite pathway and steel canopy on the walkway under the Clark Street Bridge.
  • Concrete forms for walls, stair footings, and planters.
  • Concrete blocks along longer passageways.
  • Electrical conduits and an irrigation system.

Crews will also continue pumping water out of areas between the old and new river walls.
