Good morning to you, Anthony. We know work here
on the Lake Street Bridge was supposed to wrap up
by four o'clock this morning,
but of course that didn't really turn out. We know that this is going
to be pushed back now by an additional two days
because apparently crews need some extra time to
fix some alignment issues here.
So according to the Chicago Department of Transportation,
workers need extra time to connect new
and existing bridge elements and finalize the
structural, electrical, and mechanical alignments.
While this work is delayed,
There is some good news for other CTA commuters this morning.
We know service on the Brown, Orange and Purple lines are back
to normal around the Loop today after some quick weekend projects here.
But there are some detours still in effect.
We know Green Line trains are operating in two segments between Harlem
and Lake and Clinton and between Clark and Lake and the South Side.
There are shuttles there as well,
bringing passengers between Clinton and Clark and Lake.
Pink Line trains are running between 54th
and Cermak and the Racine Blue Line station.
you must transfer to the Blue Line trains
if you are trying to get downtown
because those Pink Line trains will not be running
on the elevated tracks here in the Loop until Wednesday.
Now, CDOT and CTA crews say they will be running these alignment checks
and testing the trains here over the next 48 hours.
Full service expected to resume by 4 a.m. on Wednesday.
Anthony.
