Construction work planned for this weekend at the Chicago and Sedgwick stations on the Brown Line will require reroutes of Brown Line trains. This could cause delays in service so customers are advised to allow extra travel time. Several major construction projects are currently underway on the rail system and CTA is working to minimize the impact on customers while coordinating efforts to accommodate multiple construction crews.
