CHICAGO — The Blue Line Addison Station will close for the weekend as crews work to improve portions of the Blue Line, according to the CTA.

Blue Line trains in both directions will bypass the Addison station beginning 10 p.m. Friday and will last until 4 a.m. Monday, the CTA said in a news release. Free bus service will shuttle passengers between the Addison and Belmont Blue Lines stops for the duration of the closure, CTA said.

The station will re-open at 4 a.m. Monday, but Forest Park-bound trains will continue to bypass the Addison station until Monday, April 5, according to CTA.

Work on the station as part of the "Your New Blue" project, including the addition of an elevator, will cause the temporary closure, CTA said.

Customers are encouraged to use the Belmont or Irving Park Blue Line stops for the duration of the work, according to the CTA. The No. 80 Irving Park and the No. 77 Belmont buses can connect riders to the open stops.
