CHICAGO (CBS) -- CTA Brown Line riders may need to plan a little extra time for their commutes for the next several weeks.

Outbound trains to Kimball will not be stopping at the busy Western Avenue stop, at Western and Leland avenues in Lincoln Square, as crews begin a $20 million renovation project, the Chicago Transit Authority said.

The service change began this past Friday, and will continue until at least Friday, Sept. 20.
Inbound trains toward the Loop are still stopping at the Western station.

Anyone who would normally to get off a Kimball-bound train at Western should instead get off at Rockwell and double back on a Loop-bound train. Read More Here.
