CTA Route 76 Moves Stop at Diversey, Halsted

Riders taking the eastbound #76 Diversey bus at Halsted will need to cross the street starting Friday. The Chicago Transit Authority announced the bus stop on the southeast corner at Diversey/Halsted will be temporarily discontinued, with passengers boarding on the southwest corner instead. The change takes effect March 27 at 4:00 AM, though officials haven't said when the stop will reopen.

Temporary Stop Closure Affects Eastbound Service

The modification affects only eastbound #76 Diversey service at the Diversey/Halsted intersection, transit officials said. Westbound service and stops at other locations along the route continue operating normally. The CTA didn't provide details about why the stop is being discontinued or what work might be taking place at the location. Transit agencies typically close stops temporarily for construction, utility work, or street improvements that make the location temporarily unsafe or inaccessible for buses.

Passengers Must Use Southwest Corner

Riders who normally board at the southeast corner will need to use the stop on the southwest corner of Diversey and Halsted, requiring them to cross to the opposite side of the intersection. The CTA confirmed both boarding and alighting will occur at the relocated stop during the closure period. Officials didn't specify whether the stop closure will affect service frequency or whether buses might experience delays navigating the modified stop pattern. The agency also hasn't said whether temporary signage will be posted at the closed stop to direct passengers to the alternate location.

Change Begins Friday Morning Rush

The stop relocation takes effect Friday, March 27, 2026, at 4:00 AM, meaning it'll be in place for the morning commute. Officials haven't provided an end date for the temporary closure or estimated how long the modification will remain in effect. The CTA typically announces stop changes several days in advance, though whether additional notifications will be posted at the affected stop or sent through rider alert systems wasn't specified.

Riders Should Plan for Extra Crossing Time

Passengers who regularly use the southeast corner stop should allow extra time to cross the intersection to reach the temporary boarding location on the southwest corner. Those with mobility concerns may want to plan additional time for the crossing.
