Chicago CTA Adjusts Route 76 Stop at Diversey

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

CTA Route 76 Bus Stop Moves at Diversey-Halsted

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

Temporary Change with Unclear Duration

The CTA classified the modification as a temporary bus stop change, though officials haven't said how long the discontinuation will last. The agency listed the duration as to be determined in its service alert. Bus stop relocations typically occur due to construction, street work, or infrastructure improvements that make existing stops temporarily inaccessible. Officials didn't specify the reason for this particular stop change.

Single Stop Affected on Diversey Route

The change affects only the eastbound direction of Route 76 at the Diversey/Halsted intersection. Westbound service and all other stops along the route will continue operating normally, according to the transit agency. The relocated boarding point sits directly across Diversey Avenue from the discontinued stop. Officials said passengers should allow extra time to cross the street and reach the temporary boarding location.

Implementation Begins Before Morning Rush

The stop change takes effect at 4:00 AM on March 27, before the morning commute begins. The early implementation time allows the agency to update signage and ensure riders see the change before peak travel hours. Officials said the CTA will post notices at the affected stop alerting passengers to the temporary relocation.

Finding Updated Route Information

Route 76 riders should watch for additional updates about when the original stop location will reopen. The CTA said it posts current and upcoming service alerts on its system status page.
