Addison

 

Hello:

 

Please note the below information for this weekend, Friday - Monday, July
19-22, 2019.

 

Jefferson Park to Montrose Blue Line Construction

and Bus Substitute Shuttle

 

Due to signal work, there will be a temporary interruption in O'Hare branch
Blue Line service between Jefferson Park and Montrose stations from 10:00
p.m. Fri. July 19 to 4:00 a.m. Mon. July 22, 2019. There will be no rail
service in either direction between these two stations.

 

To accommodate passengers, CTA will provide the following free bus
substitute shuttle service:

1.	Jefferson Park Station to Montrose Station (Montrose does NOT have
elevator access).
2.	Jefferson Park Station to Addison Station (Addison DOES HAVE
elevator access).

 

Additionally, customers can choose to connect between Jefferson Park and
Addison Stations via the #56 Milwaukee bus and the #152 Addison bus. Regular
fares will apply for this option.

 

CTA encourages customers to allow for extra travel time.

 

This service interruption is due to signal work occurring between the two
stations as part of the $492 million Your New Blue program. Considered the
largest investment in the Blue Line since it was extended to O'Hare
International Airport 30 years ago, Your New Blue is modernizing and
improving stations along this critical line as well as making track and
signal system improvements to increase service reliability for customers.

 

The CTA apologizes for any inconvenience.

 

Thank you.
