If my understanding is correct, class D airspace always reverts to class
E anytime the tower is closed, therefore, the area depicted would be
treated as class E (or B, I'm not around Chicago, so I don't know if
it's inside the class C or under it.

Definitely talk to Midway. Now that Meigs is gone, Midway pretty much
controls the lakefront, when needed. They always did control the corridor.


Now that Meigs tower is closed, who do you call to transit the Meigs Class D
airspace?



Good question. I don't have my latest sectional, but I'm pretty sure
the Class D airspace is still depicted. Anyone have one handy to
double-check?

While flying down the lakeshore, I have tried to tune in the CGX ATIS
but it is silent. (I had expected some sort of message that Meigs is
now closed and that MDW or ORD approach should be contacted for
services).
