 Union Pacific is conducting a tie replacement project on the UP North Line from Chicago to Highland Park. This work is necessary to keep the tracks safe and in compliance. It is being done in off hours from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. so that Metra service is not significantly disrupted, but some midday and evening trains may incur delays of up to 30 minutes passing through the work zone. Please listen to announcements for any platform changes. Residents near the tracks can expect construction noise as the project moves through their area. Below is the schedule for upcoming work:

• Saturday, September 21 – West Cortland to Diversey Parkway
• Sunday, September 22 – Diversey Parkway to West Peterson Ave.
• Monday, September 23 – West Peterson Ave to West Touhy Ave.
• Tuesday, September 24 – West Touhy Ave to Washington St. (Evanston)

Thank you for your understanding as UP completes this critical work. We are sorry for any disturbance this will cause for community residents.
