CTA Adjusts Route 39 Stop for Construction
CTA relocates westbound Route 39 stop at Pershing and Morgan to accommodate construction
CTA Moves Bus Stop on Route 39 Due to Work
Riders using CTA's Route 39 Pershing will find their westbound bus stop in a new spot starting Friday morning. The stop at the northeast corner of Pershing and Morgan moves to the northwest corner of the same intersection beginning November 7 at 7:00 AM, transit officials said. The relocation affects westbound service only, with the change necessary due to ongoing construction in the area.
Construction Drives Temporary Change
The bus stop relocation is part of CTA's ongoing efforts to maintain service continuity during area construction projects, according to the transit agency. Officials said the move ensures rider safety and maintains access to the route while work proceeds at the original stop location. The agency didn't specify what type of construction is underway or which entity is managing the project. Transit agencies typically coordinate with city departments and contractors to minimize service disruptions during infrastructure work, though officials haven't said how long the temporary relocation will remain in effect.
Single Stop Affected on Pershing Route
The change affects only the westbound stop at Pershing and Morgan, with all other Route 39 stops maintaining their current locations. The temporary stop sits directly across the street from the original location, requiring riders to board from the northwest corner instead of the northeast corner. Officials confirmed the relocation takes effect at 7:00 AM on Friday, November 7, but haven't announced when the stop will return to its original position. The agency said the move is necessary to accommodate construction activity, though specific details about the project timeline weren't provided.
No End Date Set for Relocation
CTA officials announced the stop change will begin November 7 but didn't provide a timeline for when service will return to the original location. The agency said the temporary relocation will remain in place until construction work concludes, though a specific end date wasn't available. Transit officials typically announce stop returns once project timelines become clearer, but no follow-up announcement schedule was provided for this relocation.
Riders Should Check for Updates
Passengers using the westbound Route 39 at Pershing and Morgan should look for the stop at the northwest corner beginning Friday morning. The one-block shift means riders accustomed to waiting at the northeast corner will need to cross to the opposite side of the intersection. CTA provides service alerts through multiple channels to keep riders informed of changes, officials said. Moovit offers real-time updates for CTA routes, helping riders track bus arrivals and navigate temporary stop changes across Chicago's transit system.
