CTA is replacing Blue Line trains with shuttle buses between Jefferson Park and Harlem from Nov. 13 to 16, and O’Hare travelers should leave early

Heading to O’Hare this weekend? Part of your ride might be on a bus. The CTA is putting Blue Line shuttle buses in place of trains between Jefferson Park and Harlem on the O’Hare branch. The swap runs from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 through 4 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16 . Translation: your trip to the airport now has a layover. Before the airport. Why is the Blue Line closing between Jefferson Park and Harlem? Track maintenance. The CTA says the work is meant to give riders a “safer, smoother commute,” and it’s funded through the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act. Short-term pain. Long-term smoother rides. That’s the pitch, anyway. Where do I catch the Blue Line shuttle buses? At Jefferson Park: Head into the bus terminal and look for stop (A). At Harlem: Shuttles leave from the bus terminal’s south bays near Harlem Avenue. Heads up: this is the Harlem stop on the O’Hare branch. Not the Harlem stop out by Forest Park. Same name, totally different side of the city. Classic Chicago. Are Blue Line trains still running to O’Hare? Yes. Trains will keep running between O’Hare and Harlem, plus between Jefferson Park, downtown and Forest Park. So
