Wells St. Bridge construction impacts CTA trains

Mon. March 4, 2013

Chicago, IL - Reconstruction of the Wells Street Bridge started over the weekend and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) officials advise commuters to leave early or late to avoid delay.

Train service on the bridge, including the Brown, Purple and Red Lines will temporarily cease for two 9-day periods.



Service will be affected from Friday, March 1, beginning at 10 p.m. and resume in time for the morning rush on Monday, March 11; and again beginning on Friday, April 26, beginning at 10 p.m. and resuming in time for the morning rush period on Monday, May 6.

During the project, the CTA has incorporated additional bus service, shuttle buses, some rerouted trains and a Loop shuttle train to alleviate some of the temporary inconveniences for both weekday and weekend riders.
