Red Line subway closing for first of four weekends of repairs
Red Line trains will be rerouted to elevated tracks for the whole weekend — the first of four weekend detours needed for maintenance work in the Loop subway, according to the CTA.
The detour will last from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday. Red Line trains will be rerouted from the Fullerton to the Cermak-Chinatown stations.
For the length of the detour, trains will not stop at these stations: North/Clybourn, Clark/Division, Chicago, Grand, Lake, Monroe, Jackson, Harrison and Roosevelt. Instead, trains will stop at Brown Line stops including Amitage, Sedgwick, Franklin, Merchandise Mart, Clark/Lake, Washington/Wabash, Adams/Wabash and the elevated tracks at the Roosevelt station.
The CTA plans to reroute Red Line trains this weekend from Fullerton to Cermak-Chinatown.
