CHICAGO, Ill. -- South Shore Line passengers are advised busing substitution is in place beginning November 15, and November 16, due to construction in Chicago. There will be no service to Museum Campus or Van Buren Street stations.

South Shore Line passengers traveling to and from downtown Chicago will be transported by bus between Millennium Station and Metra’s 18th Street Station. Millennium to 18th Street is an approximate 10-minute bus ride. Train passengers traveling to and from 57th Street Station will not be impacted.

The buses will not stop at Van Buren Street or Museum Campus stations. Impacted passengers please plan trips accordingly to utilize either 18th Street Station or Millennium Station during the weekend.

18th Street Station contains a large set of stairs. Passengers with disabilities, including mobility issues and difficulty using stairs, will utilize McCormick Place throughout the busing. Passengers with disabilities will be shuttled between Millennium and McCormick Place. Bikes will be prohibited on buses, but will be permitted to utilize McCormick Place.

Agents will be available at 18th Street, Millennium, and McCormick Place stations to ensure passengers safely transfer between trains and buses.

The construction project is part of the $650 million expansion of South Shore Line service and is necessary to expand capacity through the area north of 18th Street to accommodate additional South Shore Line trains. The work includes track realignments and upgrades to the catenary system that supplies power to the trains. The construction will ultimately result in increased train capacity on Metra.
