No Timetable for CTA's Yellow Line Return

It could be a while before the CTA’s Yellow Line will be up and running again.

CTA directed questions on the matter to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.

“This is a very complicated undertaking, and experts are evaluating alternatives based upon various factors,” said Allison Fore, Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Officer for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. “We are working with the CTA to restore service as soon as possible in the safest manner possible. At this time, the date for resumption of service has yet be determined. We thank the public and the CTA for their continued patience.”

In the mean time, Yellow Line users can use shuttles that run about as often as the train.

“CTA #97 Skokie bus service may be a good alternative option to Yellow Line train service,” according to the CTA website.

All Yellow Line trains have been suspended since May 18, when an embankment near McCormick Boulevard gave way.
