Bally’s will not be fined for a mishap at the site of its future casino that sent demolition debris into the Chicago River last month, officials confirmed Thursday.
Demolition work at the site can resume as early as Friday, according to a city spokesperson.
Bally’s and its general contractor were required by the city’s buildings department to submit a “corrective action plan” after the incident.
“The Department of Buildings has completed the final review,” the city said in a statement, “and will be approving the contractor to be able to restart the demolition on Friday.”
The casino operator and its contractor did not violate any laws, according to both the city and the regional government body that oversees water quality of the river.
