Metra’s project to replace 11 bridges along its Union Pacific North Line on the city’s North Side will require the closing of a portion of Montrose Avenue for 12 days.

Montrose will be closed at the Union Pacific tracks along Ravenswood Avenue from Monday through , Feb. 21, Metra said.

East-west vehicular traffic will be diverted south along either Damen or Ashland avenues to Irving Park Road during the closure, Metra said.

Lisle-based Judlau Contracting will erect a new steel bridge over the roadway as part of a $17.2 million project to replace century-old bridges from Grace Street to Balmoral Avenue on Chicago’s North Side, Metra said.
