    Officials identify construction worker who fell from Skyway ABC7Chicago.com
    Chicago Department of Transportation spokesman Brian Steele says construction on the Chicago Skyway has been halted while an investigation continues into an accident that killed a worker yesterday.

    Police spokesman Sergeant Edward Alonzo says 42-year-old Raul Rebelles of Chicago was crossing an improvised wooden bridge covering a Skyway viaduct when he fell about 30 feet to the ground.

    Steele says it appears that a portion of the walkway gave way at one of its supports.
