CTA reroutes northbound Bus 112 via Vincennes, 99th, Halsted due to street blockage
CTA Reroutes Bus 112 at 95th and Peoria
Riders on Chicago's South Side face a detour on the #112 Vincennes/111th bus route after a street blockage near 95th and Peoria forced northbound buses onto a temporary path. The Chicago Transit Authority said the disruption began Tuesday morning at 8:51 AM, with no timeline yet announced for when normal service will resume. Only northbound buses are affected—southbound service continues on its regular route.
Street Blockage Forces Detour
The reroute sends northbound #112 buses via Vincennes, 99th, Halsted, and 95th to avoid the blockage at 95th and Peoria, transit officials said. The agency classified the alert as causing minor delays but advised passengers to allow extra travel time when using this route. CTA didn't specify what's causing the street blockage or how long repairs might take. The #112 route typically serves residential areas and connects riders to the Red Line at 95th Street, making it a key link for commuters and local travelers on the Far South Side.
Multiple Routes See Active Alerts
The #112 reroute is one of several active bus alerts across the CTA system, though officials didn't say how many routes are currently affected or whether the disruptions are related. Most CTA rail lines are operating with normal service, with some lines running planned work or added service, according to the transit agency. The authority said it monitors street conditions and adjusts routes as needed to maintain service during infrastructure issues. Specific details about other affected bus routes weren't available by publication time.
No End Date Set for Detour
The temporary reroute began Tuesday, April 21, at 8:51 AM, with the end time listed as to be determined, transit officials said. The agency typically updates alerts as conditions change, but a specific timeline for when the street blockage will be cleared wasn't provided. CTA said it'll continue monitoring the situation and adjust service as needed once the obstruction is removed.
Riders Urged to Check Before Traveling
Passengers should allow extra time for trips on the #112 route and check for updates before traveling, the CTA said. The agency recommends checking current alerts and system status to avoid unexpected delays. Riders can contact CTA customer service at 1-888-YOUR-CTA for additional information about the reroute.
