As of 9 a.m., CTA bus and rail services have been restored in the downtown area, according to a tweet from the transit agency.
Surface streets are reopening and bridges have also been lowered in the Loop, according to ABC7 Chicago's Roz Varon. All ramps coming off the expressway and heading east to downtown have also been reopened, allowing more access. Some street closures are still in effect, including the intersection of Lake St. and Michigan Ave. as police investigate an incident.

Pace has also resumed normal services.
Many businesses in the area had just reopened weeks after several stores and buildings were vandalized in the looting that followed the protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

All bridges over the Chicago River were raised in the early morning hours Monday to divert traffic as police attempted to control crowds entering the area.
The CTA had suspended bus and train service downtown at the "request of public safety officials." No buses or trains were able to run in the area bordered by Fullerton and Ashland avenues and Cermak Road for part of the morning.
