Meanwhile, CTA next week will continue restoration work on the Brown Line’s Ravenswood Connector Branch, a 2-mile stretch of track between Armitage Avenue and the Loop.
Crews will sandblast and repaint the structure to extend its useful life for at least 30 years, officials said in a press release.
The work is part of a $90 million rehabilitation project for the connector. The project's final phases, which will include work on the girders along Franklin Street, are scheduled to be completed by late September.
