Chicago CTA Adjusts Route 76 Stop at Diversey-Halsted

CTA moves Route 76 eastbound stop at Diversey-Halsted to southwest corner starting March 27

CTA Route 76 Bus Stop Moves at Diversey-Halsted

Riders of Chicago's Route 76 Diversey bus will need to cross the street to catch eastbound buses at Diversey and Halsted starting late March. The Chicago Transit Authority announced the eastbound stop on the southeast corner at Diversey/Halsted will be temporarily discontinued beginning Friday, March 27, 2026, at 4:00 AM. Passengers should instead use the stop on the southwest corner at the same intersection, transit officials said.

Temporary Change Duration Unclear

The CTA classified the modification as a bus stop note but hasn't specified how long the change will last. Officials listed the duration as to be determined, leaving riders uncertain about when the southeast corner stop might reopen. Transit agencies typically make temporary stop changes for construction projects, street repairs, or safety concerns, though the CTA didn't provide a reason for this particular modification. The agency said riders should plan to use the alternative stop location until further notice.

Single Corner Affected on Busy Route

The change affects only the eastbound direction of Route 76 at the Diversey/Halsted intersection, one of the busier stops along the crosstown route. Westbound service and all other stops on the route will continue normal operations, officials said. The southwest corner stop where passengers should now board sits directly across Halsted Avenue from the discontinued stop. Officials didn't say whether additional signage would be posted at the closed stop to direct riders to the new boarding location.

Change Takes Effect Before Morning Rush

The stop relocation takes effect at 4:00 AM on March 27, before the morning commute begins. Transit officials said the early implementation time should minimize confusion for rush-hour riders. The CTA typically schedules service changes during overnight hours to reduce disruption, though officials didn't specify whether any advance notification would be posted at the affected stop before the change date.

Riders Should Verify Stop Locations

Passengers who regularly use the eastbound Route 76 stop at Diversey/Halsted should allow extra time to locate the temporary boarding location starting March 27. Officials advised riders to plan accordingly and watch for any updates about when the original stop might reopen.
