The work is intended to help to remove about 3 miles of the slow zones.
CTA Blue Line journeys are about to get easier for some commuters who have faced nearly monthlong station and track closures, but a stretch of the Forest Park branch will remain closed to trains into the fall.
The work is intended to help remove about 3 miles of the slow zones that plague the 17.8-mile Forest Park branch of the line. About 80% of the branch has slow zones, which force trains to crawl down the highway median and add time onto riders’ commutes.So far, crews have rebuilt the tracks and drainage system between LaSalle and UIC-Halsted. That work will now continue from UIC-Halsted to the Illinois Medical District station.
The CTA has been running shuttle buses and offering discounted fares on alternate transit routes during construction, and those efforts will continue. A shuttle will now run at all hours, all days, between the UIC-Halsted and Illinois Medical District stations. On trains, fares will be cut in half for those who use a Ventra card and board at certain stations on the Green, Pink or Blue lines. On the Green or Pink lines, reduced fares will be in place at Ashland/Lake and all stations west, and on the Blue Line at the Illinois Medical District and all stations west on the Forest Park branch.
