Friday news mix: Brown Line closed in Loop Saturday
Track work on the Wells Street Bridge will close the Brown Line in the Loop from 1 am till 5 pm Saturday. Riders headed to the Loop can transfer to the Red Line at Fullerton. The CTA will also provide a shuttle bus between the Merchandise Mart and Clark-Lake El stations.
Slow zone work on Red Line subway. Trains will ride on a single track from Roosevelt to Grand as slow zone work continues. Northbound Red Line riders will board on the southbound side from midnight till 4 am Saturday. This work has been under way all week, and will continue.
Haikus hug Harrison station walls. Jones College Prep High School and Columbia College students crafted some handsome haikus to adorn the walls of the Red Line Harrison station. See the Tribune story here. My daughter and her friends are Jones students, and they contribute some great Tattler tales here. So a tip of the hat to them.
I wish there where some photos of the subway track work and what exactly is being updated. I admire the workers, it must be a somewhat interesting environment to work in.
