The suspension began at about 4:45 a.m. and was expected to remain in effect until further notice. CTA officials said shuttle buses were operating to connect riders between the Howard and Dempster-Skokie stations in both directions.
Riders were encouraged to consider alternate travel options, including nearby bus routes such as the No. 54A North Cicero/Skokie Boulevard and No. 97 Skokie buses, or transfers to other rail lines.
