Blue Line Construction To Cause Overnight Delays
CHICAGO (STMW) - Late-night Blue Line riders should allow extra travel time this week, as subway construction on the Near North Side is expected to cause minor delays.
Blue Line trains in both directions will operate on the same track between the Damen and Clark/Lake stations from 11 p.m. Sunday until 4 a.m. Monday while crews perform track maintenance, according to the CTA's website. The work will continue at the same times the remainder of the week, ending early Friday.
As a result, passengers must board and exit all trains on the O'Hare-bound side of the platform at the Division, Chicago and Grand stations, the CTA said.
Minor delays are expected and the CTA advises passengers to allow extra travel time.
