Traffic Alerts

Montrose Closure

For the next three months, Montrose Avenue will be unavailable to through traffic between Damen and Ashland. Local traffic will remain open along with all sidewalk access. All of the businesses on Montrose Avenue will remain open. I encourage 47th Ward residents to shop locally and to continue to support the businesses on Montrose. The Montrose CTA Bus (#72) will be rerouted eastbound at Damen to Wilson. The bus will continue east on Wilson to Ashland and then back to Montrose. The west bound route will continue through the construction area on Montrose. The Montrose El Station will remain open at all times during this work and access to the station will be ensured from all directions.
