Bye Bye Brown Line

The CTA will be closing 15 stations on the Brown Line for various lengths of time as part of the line's upcoming renovation. The closings will range from 6 weekends at some stations to a year at others and will occur on a staggered basis. But don't get your undies in a bundle yet. The most used stations, Belmont, Fullerton and Western, won't be closing at all and the others aren't scheduled to close until after September. Here's the lowdown:

Armitage, Sedgwick, Chicago: Remain open on weekdays. Will close concurrently for up to 6 weeks.

Damen, Montrose, Irving Park, Addison, Paulina, Southport, Wellington, Diversey: Closed temporarily on weekdays and weekends. No adjacent stations will be closed at the same time.

Kimball, Kedzie, Fancisco, Rockwell: Temporary closings on weekdays and weekends. No adjacent stations closed simultaneously. Stations will be closed concurrently for up to 10 weekends.
