Routing and bus stop changes for Stage IV of Revive Wacker Drive Project
Changes in service along 18 downtown CTA bus routes will go into effect at the start of service beginning Saturday, June 16, until further notice, due to the closure of Jackson and Adams streets at Wacker Drive as crews commence work associated with Stage IV of the Revive Wacker Drive, Part 2 project.
As a result of these street closures and the reopening of Monroe at Wacker, buses operating along the 18 affected routes will either be rerouted, returned to their original routing or only have minor changes in bus stop locations. Specific changes in service are outlined below.
Customers are advised to allow extra travel time along these routes:
