In order to accommodate riders, the CTA is currently operating shuttle buses from Howard to Belmont to provide connecting service.

It is currently unclear how long the delays will last.

Officials advise riders to consider alternative transit services, like nearby bus routes or other rail lines and allow for extra time during their commutes.

Riders with additional service questions can speak with station personnel for help, according to the CTA.
