Red Line Restored After Suspicious Object Reported At Bryn Mawr

CHICAGO, IL — Red Line service on Chicago's North Side has resumed, though trains are continuing to bypass Bryn Mawr station as police investigate reports of a suspicious object.

The Chicago Transit Authority previously stopped service between Howard and Addison, according to an alert.

Riders should anticipate "residual delays" and plan accordingly, the alert said, adding that some trains and platforms may be busier than usual as crews work to restore normal service.

Shuttle buses on the route are also still available, the alert said.

Around 11 a.m., Chicago police were flagged down by someone reporting a suspicious object near the Bryn Mawr station, located in the 1000 block of West Bryn Mawr Avenue, NBC 5 reported.

At 12:40 p.m., canine and bomb squads were on the scene, according to a Chicago Tribune report. By about 1:45 p.m., the scene was “deemed clear,” a Chicago police spokesman told the Tribune.
