Access to and views of Cloud Gate, better known as "The Bean," will be limited starting Tuesday as construction crews work on Grainger Plaza, according to the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

"This necessary maintenance by the City of Chicago will replace pavers and make other repairs and accessibility upgrades to the Plaza – to enhance the nearly 20-year-old park's appearance, visitor experience, and position as the No. 1 attraction in the Midwest," the website reads.
