Blue Line service resumes after ‘major delays’ during evening commute

Service on the Blue Line was back to normal Friday night after experiencing significant delays during the evening commute on the Northwest Side.

Normal service had resumed about 9 p.m., the CTA said.

The delays were related to a possible break in the track, according to a spokesman for the CTA.

In an earlier alert, the CTA said the delays were caused by a “track condition” near Montrose.

Riders had to board all trains at the Irving Park station on the Forest Park-bound side of the platform and bus shuttles were made available in the affected area.
