Get ready for some massive street construction this summer.
The City of Chicago announced Friday that $86 million in federal stimulus money is on its way here to fix the battered streets.
Approximately $50 million will be spent on 37 resurfacing projects, totally 31.4 miles of Chicago streets.
The remainder will be used on 4 major road re-construction projects at Chicago Avenue from Laramie to Grand, Congress Drive from Wells to Michigan, LaSalle Drive from Clark Street to Lake Shore Drive and Lake Park from 51st to 57th.
Here's a list of the 37 projects announced. Construction should start sometime in June and last 6-8 weeks, according to the city.
