CTA Reroutes Bus 112 to Maintain Service
CTA reroutes northbound Bus 112 via four streets due to blockage at 95th and Peoria
CTA Reroutes Bus 112 at 95th and Peoria
Northbound riders on CTA's #112 Vincennes/111th bus route face a temporary detour near 95th Street and Peoria due to a street blockage. The Chicago Transit Authority issued the alert Tuesday morning, April 21, warning passengers to expect minor delays. Southbound service on the route continues operating normally without changes.
Street Blockage Forces Service Adjustment
The reroute became necessary after a street blockage developed near the 95th and Peoria intersection, transit officials said. The CTA activated the detour at 8:51 AM on Tuesday to maintain service continuity while crews address the obstruction. Officials haven't specified what caused the blockage or provided an estimated timeline for when normal routing will resume. The agency listed the end time as to be determined, indicating the duration of the disruption remains unclear.
Buses Follow Four-Street Detour Path
Northbound #112 buses now travel via Vincennes, 99th, Halsted, and 95th streets to bypass the affected area, according to the transit agency. The modified route adds several turns to the normal path before buses rejoin their regular routing. Southbound buses aren't affected and continue serving all standard stops. Transit officials advised riders using northbound service to allow extra travel time, though they didn't specify how many additional minutes passengers should expect for their trips.
No Timeline Set for Normal Service Return
The CTA hasn't announced when the #112 route will return to its regular northbound path. Officials said the reroute will remain in effect until the street blockage near 95th and Peoria is cleared, but they didn't provide details about the nature of the obstruction or repair timeline. The agency typically updates service alerts as conditions change, though a schedule for the next update wasn't available.
Riders Can Track Real-Time Route Changes
Passengers on the #112 route should expect the detour to continue affecting northbound trips until further notice. The CTA said riders can contact customer service at 1-888-YOUR-CTA for current information about the reroute. Moovit provides real-time updates for CTA routes, helping riders track buses on the temporary detour path and plan trips with current service conditions.
