CTA Reroutes Route 94 Bus for Construction Work
Riders on Chicago's Route 94 California bus should expect detours on northbound trips as construction work forces a temporary reroute. The Chicago Transit Authority announced the change affects northbound buses traveling through a section of California Avenue, transit officials said. Southbound service on the route will continue operating normally without interruption.
Construction Prompts Service Adjustment
The reroute stems from construction work taking place on California Avenue between North Avenue and Armitage, according to the transit agency. Officials said the work requires northbound buses to temporarily use an alternate path through the area. The CTA regularly adjusts bus routes to accommodate infrastructure projects and street work across Chicago's transit network. Specific details about the construction project's scope and contractor weren't available by publication time.
Detour Route Details
Northbound Route 94 buses will travel via California Avenue to North Avenue, then detour east on North Avenue to Humboldt Boulevard, officials said. Buses will then travel south on Humboldt to Armitage Avenue before heading west on Armitage back to California Avenue, where they'll resume the regular route. The detour adds several blocks to the northbound journey through the construction zone. Officials didn't specify which bus stops along the regular route will be temporarily unavailable during the reroute.
Timeline and Duration
The CTA hasn't announced when the reroute will end or provided a timeline for the construction work's completion. Transit officials said passengers should allow extra travel time while the detour remains in effect. The agency typically provides advance notice before service returns to normal routing, though officials didn't say how much notice riders can expect for this particular reroute.
Rider Information and Updates
Passengers traveling through the affected area should plan for longer trip times and possible changes to their usual boarding locations. Officials said riders can stay informed about the Route 94 detour and other service changes through CTA communications channels.
