- Typically, the polished skin of Anish Kapoor’s “Cloud Gate” sculpture, or "The Bean," will reflect the images of Chicago tourists visiting the monument. But orange-vested construction workers and equipment are still surrounding it as summer nears.
NBC Chicago’s Charlie Wojciechowski reports.

I like how this report is two minutes of saying absolutely nothing.
Most of NBC's broadcasts are like that....
i live directly across the street w/ an overhead view. This video is the first time I have seen construction workers at the Bean
I believe some of the stories they give us be 🧢 too
Hire some mexican nationals from Home Depot and it will be done by 6pm
5PM if beer is included
Yeah and everything it not to safety standard yeah ok
😂😂
It will be done when the Teamsters say it’s done 🤫 😂
Just be patient, as soon as enough money has been embezzled they will finish that sidewalk…..
I’m not even surprised how city is delayed on construction. Remember when they fixed the bridge on Adams St Westloop it took almost 3 years lol, some of us forgot that that bridge even existed
Of course, decades of democratic rule is destroying Chicago and soon it’ll be another Detroit
a government project - costs over budget and takes twice as long to complete
Who cares the mayor is busy putting on his makeup and getting his hair and nails done maybe some Botox for his lips it’s hard to look this pretty for only 30 thousand
Democrat. Create the problem. Use taxpayers money to pay for it. Inflate it and get 30% for the big guy.
Let's be honest - it's to keep "teens" away.
DAY NAINT DUN NUN WRONG WATZ RONG WIT YALL
@@andrettransformer what language is that?
@@RoyExplorespidgin
its to keep the illegals from setting up camp sites
Ouch that hurts cause of this is true means they are saying they don’t want the black kids there lets keep a BEAN
Reporting 101: Ask city when it will reopen.
No word on what is taking longer than originally expected.
End of June it will open
It's closed to keep the black teens from gathering down there and causing trouble like they do every summer....
Did you ever hear the term milkin?
O'clock
Trump would’ve had this done ahead of schedule.
Seems with a bit if forethought they could have worked on the plaza on one side and kept the other half the plaza open. Then switched. But of course that would require that a city employee think outside the box and that never happens
I hope they will give this bean 🫘 a new polish. It’s looking a little scratched up in the sun 🌞
Don’t worry, those workers are paid by the hour 😂
it's just a bean, theres other stuff to visit
Yea, just go to Navy Pier or somewhere
There are lots of lonely women walking up and down North Avenue. For a few dollars tourists may engage in cultural awareness activities.
Someone is getting richer..
I've bean there before. It's really cool!
I see how the workers making it seem like they're doing shit lmao
typical midwest construction crew 😂😂😂
How did the crew shoot around all of those taco trucks lining Michigan Avenue?
I'll see if the construction even finishes Before Christmas....Of 2026!
I'll see if Cloud Gate even reopens before Christmas.
I had idea it was closed but I live here
Go to hyde park by the ohboma library and the streets around that construction are for shit and they are separate from the library, the citizens have to drive on those crazy streets until construction is done that's bullshit!!!
People still go to Chicago?
Why wouldn’t ppl go to Chicago? It’s like new York only windier and colder
It's been reopened.
This was a strategic move by the city to tamper down foot traffic and hence crime during the crime high season.
It will be open,in 2083.😂😂😂😂😂
...oh...chicago...kalifornia creep...erp...
so when it finally opens we can then cover it in grafitti
Nooo money for Chicagoooo then !!!! No bean no money !
SINGLE MOMMA KIDS.
Wow. Chicago can't even polish an already polished turd on time. It'll probably end up costing ten times as much as the initial construction and purchase of the turd.
By the way, city residents and the rest of the world call it the chrome turd, the silver turd, or Obama's Brain.
Get it done!!!😂😂😂
In china they can build a highway in a month…….we bring alllllll this cheap labor through immigration and have years of skilled people and it take 1 year for whatever they are doing…
It’s because of your damn unions thats why nothing can get done. 10 workers standing around while 1 actually does the damn work
I viewed it 7 years ago.
It is ugly. It should be removed. Millennium park should be renamed Donald J. Trump MAGA park!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🤡😂😂😂😂😂
MAWA!!!!!!!!
Nothing like working at the speed of unions, the only thing slower is government. You hire some non union Mexicans or polacks and it’s done in a few weeks and waaaay under budget with better quality.
Many government workers are union. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Na mexicans don't want to work on that crap
f u for saying "polacks"
@@phillipmarlowe0525 yep, and those unions need to be broken and prohibited. Private unions are one thing because the employees and employers are in agreement, public unions are not voted on by the tax payers and are a conflict by their very nature.
No answer.
Ants. Ants got to it. Ants are eating the bean and trying to carry back to there queen.
It’s the dumbest tourist attraction ever
👍
Sell that sh!t for scrap metal; what does that expensive piece of crap even have to do with Chicago?
I guess we should just sell the art institute too since apparently artwork is meaningless 😂 who needs to be cultured, right?
Deportation. For you!
@@NG.. Considering Ken Griffin is a benefactor of the Art Institute with garbage from the likes of Jackson Pollock it might be worth considering. If you get your culture from a hedge fund manager, you're probably not very cultured.
It’s just a bean…. Waste of money, land, and art. Why not put an actual art statue instead of a mercury inspired blob with no backstory..
As a chicagoan i could careless 😅
