If you're commuting on the CTA red line this weekend...

Once I saw a sign at 95th which I had posted to ig, it was important for me to share this with you all. At least for those of you who commute to downtown Chicago on the weekend. Thankfully if you're leaving 95th street or from any of the stops along the Dan Ryan there will be no disruptions from this, just that if you go downtown trains will be rerouted to the elevated tracks.

When you think about it, the routing is almost like how the Dan Ryan branch was routed before 1993 when it was connected to Lake Street. With the work on 95th some rush hour trains on the red line are rerouted onto the Englewood branch of the green line to Ashland. Though in this case red line trains from 95th through the Loop from the loop to 95th are elevated only for this weekend.

Here's an alert from CTA below

And Red Line riders: Don't forget that, 9pm Sat thru 9pm Sun, 95th-bound Red Line subway trains will be rerouted via the elevated lines thru downtown to allow for various maintenance work in the State Street Subway. https://t.co/JNlO2XIXr1 pic.twitter.com/tFL94TpeC7
