UPTOWN — Expect a mess commuting near Wilson Avenue and Broadway for the next week.
From 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays, Wilson will be closed to traffic, according to the Chicago Department of Transportation.
During the closure, which will allow crews to do concrete work, pedestrians will still have access to the Wilson "L" stop and Truman College's service drive will remain open.
And from 9 p.m.-4 a.m. daily, Broadway will be closed from Leland Avenue to Wilson Avenue for track installation, according to Uptown Update.
The construction should have no effect on train schedules, but it will affect buses along Wilson Avenue, CTA spokesman Jeff Tolman said.
From 9 a.m.-4 p.m. daily through Tuesday, the No. 78 Montrose bus will be rerouted on Wilson Avenue from Clifton Avenue to Broadway due to work on the Wilson Reconstruction Project, Tolman said.
The eastbound No. 78 bus will be rerouted from Racine Avenue to Leland Avenue to Broadway before returning to its regular route. The westbound No. 78 bus will be rerouted to Broadway to Lawrence Avenue to Clark Street before returning to its regular route, he said.
The next stage of construction is scheduled to begin in March, according to the CTA.
