McCormick Boulevard between Oakton Street and Howard Street is now re-opened. 
McCormick Boulevard between Oakton Street and Howard Street is now re-opened. Service on the CTA Yellow Line remains suspended until further notice, and the CTA has shuttle bus service in operation for Skokie Swift commuters.
When ComEd crews investigated the cause of an electrical outage in the southeast section of Skokie on the evening of, May 17, 2015, they discovered a failure at a nearby construction site on the MWRD property at McCormick Boulevard and Howard Street. The construction site failure compromised the Yellow Line tracks, and there also were concerns about the integrity of the nearby bridge over McCormick Boulevard. The bridge and surrounding infrastructure has now been deemed safe, and thus, McCormick Boulevard is being reopened.
Additional information will be posted when available.
