City officials announced CTA bus and rail service has resumed in the Loop Sunday morning, and all bridges in the area will be lowered.

Service to the area resumed at 5 a.m., and all bridges are expected to be down by 9 a.m., according to an announcement from Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications.

Additionally, Lake Shore Drive, Interstate 90/94 and Interstate 290 opened at 5 a.m., the OEMC said.
