CTA Reroutes Bus 112 Around Street Blockage

CTA reroutes northbound Bus 112 near 95th and Peoria due to street blockage

CTA Reroutes Bus 112 at 95th and Peoria

Chicago's #112 Vincennes/111th bus route is running on a detour near 95th Street and Peoria due to a street blockage, transit officials said Tuesday. Northbound buses are rerouted via Vincennes, 99th, Halsted, and 95th, while southbound service continues on its regular path. The disruption began Tuesday, April 21, at 8:51 a.m., though officials haven't said when normal routing will resume.

Street Blockage Forces Service Adjustment

The temporary reroute affects only northbound trips on the route, which typically serves communities between 111th Street and downtown Chicago via Vincennes Avenue. Transit officials classified the alert as causing minor delays but advised riders to allow extra travel time. The agency didn't specify the nature of the street blockage or provide an estimated timeline for repairs. CTA operates more than 120 bus routes across Chicago, with service adjustments common when street conditions require detours.

Detour Adds Three Blocks to Route

Northbound #112 buses now travel east on Vincennes to 99th Street, then west on 99th to Halsted, north on Halsted to 95th, and west on 95th to resume regular routing. The detour adds approximately three blocks to the trip in the affected area. Southbound buses continue to serve all regular stops without changes. Officials said the reroute will remain in effect until the street blockage near 95th and Peoria is cleared, but they haven't provided a specific date for when that work will be completed.

Service Change Effective Immediately

The reroute took effect Tuesday morning and will continue until further notice, according to the transit agency. CTA's system status shows most rail lines operating with normal service, though multiple bus routes across the system currently have active alerts. Officials said riders should check for updates before traveling to avoid unexpected delays.

Riders Can Track Detour in Real Time

Passengers on the #112 route should plan for slightly longer travel times while the detour remains in place, transit officials said. The agency recommends checking current alerts before trips, though specific details about how long the blockage will affect service weren't available.
