The new Red-Purple Bypass opens tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 19! The new Bypass carries Kimball-bound (northbound) Brown Line trains over north- and southbound Red and Purple Line tracks just north of Belmont station to remove traffic jams at this intersection.
Take a ride from Belmont to Southport stations to experience better CTA service for yourself. We’re excited to hit the first major milestone of the RPM project! See you tomorrow. 🎉
