The Chicago Transit Authority plans to shut down all elevated Loop “L” stations this weekend for track repairs at the Wells and Lake junction, according to the transit agency.
The shutdown is set to begin at 4 a.m. Saturday and continue through 2 a.m. Monday, covering the full weekend service window.
The CTA did not detail alternate routing options for riders during the closure. The agency has not said whether shuttle buses or rerouted lines will serve Loop stations during the repair work.
The shutdown overlaps with World Series Game 1 in Milwaukee, a matchup that could draw additional downtown Chicago transit demand during the closure window.
Riders seeking updated service information were directed to check CTA’s official channels ahead of the weekend closure. The agency has not announced when full elevated Loop service will resume beyond the stated 2 a.m. Monday target.
