Lake Shore Drive in 1973

A Portion Of Lake Shore Drive In Chicago 10/1973
An October 1973 photo of Chicago's Lake Shore Drive, posted on Flickr by the U.S. National Archives. Prior to 1996, the northbound lanes were on the east side of the Field Museum. Moving the lanes to the west side of the museum and Soldier field allowed the development of the Museum Campus, which opened on June 4, 1998.
