CTA starts Red Line North renovations, temporarily closes some stations
Published: 05-29-12
Chicago Transit Authority Red Line riders will have to allow for a couple extra commuting minutes, as several Red Line stations will be closing temporarily starting June 1. The closures come as the CTA starts its $86 million project aimed at improving some of the older Red Line stations, according to a press release.
