What does it take to keep Chicago running? Chicago Works goes behind the scenes to explore the massive operations and fascinating jobs that power the city. Join host Geoffrey Baer as he meets the people behind the infrastructure, from the operators who raise the 1,500-ton bridges to the crew that maintains Wrigley Field’s iconic scoreboard. Discover the intricate, often unseen work that happens every day – from inside Metra’s busy control center to the special effects set of “Chicago Fire”.
