CHICAGO — If you were hoping to travel between the Western, California and the Logan Square Blue Line stations this weekend, tough luck.

Travel between the stations will be suspended 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday due to track work along the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line.

Free shuttles will operate between those stations 24 hours a day and customers will be provided with free transfers into the rail stations.

The construction will also lead to street closures and parking restrictions.

From 9 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday these streets will be closed:

• 2404-2425 Homer St.

• 2700-2721 W. St. George Court

• 2209-2228 N. California Ave.

• 2800-2815 W. Lyndale St.

From 7 a.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday, 2700-2715 W. Prindiville St. will be closed.

Bus routes will be affected by the street closures, with the #52 Kedzie/California and #73 Armitage detoured to adjacent streets.

Construction will require three more weekend-only closures of sections of the Blue Line. Construction to the Kennedy Expressway led to the CTA postponing construction and closures that were to take place June 20-23

The next scheduled track closure between the Western and Logan Square stops is to begin 10 p.m. July 25 and last until 4 a.m. July 28.
