ROGERS PARK — Northbound Red Line trains won't stop in Rogers Park and will bypass all but one station in Edgewater as work continues on an electrical substation.

Residents living near the substation at Farwell and Glenwood avenues can also expect street closures and loud construction noise until early Monday, Ald. Joe Moore (49th) said in an email to constituents.

Howard-bound trains will not stop at Bryn Mawr, Thorndale, Granville, Loyola, Morse or Jarvis stations from Saturday to 2 a.m. Monday, according to the Chicago Transit Authority.

To travel north from these stations, the CTA says to take a 95th-bound train to Berwyn and transfer to a northbound train.

For service to these stations from the south, take a northbound train to Howard and transfer to a 95th-bound train.

Moore said the work was taking place this weekend to limit disruptions to rush-hour commuters and drivers.

When completed, the electrical substation will boost power to passing trains, Moore said.
