Workers have been busy across the Chicago area this afternoon cleaning up the worst damage from this week's burst of severe weather, and one of the busiest work zones is along Interstate 55 near Channahon -- where high winds brought down ComEd power lines and left cars and trucks trapped.

The expressway's been closed in that area ever since, but WBBM's Nancy Harty reports it's expected to re-open by tomorrow morning.
