CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Ohio Feeder ramp to the Kennedy Expressway will be closed overnight for maintenance on the Ohio Street Bridge.

The full closure of the feeder between Orleans and I-90/94 will last from midnight to 7 a.m. Sunday to allow for maintenance and testing of the bridge, according to a statement from the Chicago Department of Transportation. All ramps between the expressway and the feeder in each direction will be closed.
