Service disruptions to impact CTA Brown Line beginning this week

Starting Monday, CTA Brown Line riders will experience service interruptions due to station improvements at the Western Avenue stop in Lincoln Square. These interruptions will persist through Friday, September 20.

The CTA announced that during this period, Kimball-bound trains will skip the Western Brown Line station. This is part of a substantial effort to upgrade the station and improve both the rider experience and the station's infrastructure.

The CTA recommends passengers needing Kimball-bound service from Western to board a Loop-bound train to Damen and then "transfer to a Kimball-bound train." Conversely, those traveling to the Western Brown Line station should "take a Kimball-bound train to Rockwell and transfer to a Loop-bound train.

The construction at the Western Brown Line station will include significant upgrades including a new platform and improved accessibility features. Passengers should plan for additional travel time during this period.
