Containment Boundary of Lincoln Park

Urgency of Construction

An all out effort to keep the creatures and the deformed inside the Lincoln Park District.

Disorganized barricades were constructed by civilians, using sand bags, automobiles, and whatever was around at first.

Quick Walls Someone came up with the idea of using

shipping containers for temporary walls

Shipping Container Wall

Shipping Containers could be brought in very quickly and put in place to block streets.

They can be removed easy enough when the permanent wall was put in place.

HESCO Sandbag Walls The military reinforced the temporary

barriers with proven HESCO Walls. Barriers used during the Iraq war to protect important areas.

Containment Wall Line

Streets had to support the wall and construction effort

Street had to be wide enough to allow a patrol corridor on the outside

Block access to waterways (Chicago River – North Branch and Lake Michigan)

Protect Waterways Creatures could used them to escape. In the winter Lake Michigan and Chicago

River freeze over. Chicago River vital for flood control. Diversey Harbor Lagoon drains into

Lake Michigan

North Lake Shore Drive
