It’s that time of year again, as closures for the NASCAR Chicago Street Race will get underway later this week.

NASCAR officials and the city of Chicago worked this year to trim down the total build-out time for the street circuit around Grant Park, reducing it to 25 days, 13 fewer days than it took to build the course in 2024, according to officials.

The closures will be slow to take effect, as Balbo Drive will represent the first closure, with curb lanes on Columbus Drive also closing this week.

Next week things will kick into higher gear, with temporary closures on Michigan Avenue and Columbus Drive, along with Jackson Drive.

During the week of the race, several major Chicago thoroughfares will see road closures, as DuSable Lake Shore Drive will close in both directions for two days, as will major streets like Michigan Avenue and Roosevelt Road.

The Loop 110 Xfinity Series race will take place on Saturday, July 5 at 3:30 p.m., with the NASCAR Cup Series’ Grant Park 165 taking place on Sunday, July 6 at 1 p.m.
