Routes 356 and 359 Detour Update
Starts Monday, November 20, 2023
During the reconstruction of the Homewood Metra Station’s Harwood Avenue entrance and the Pace bus terminal, Route 356 (Sunday only) and Route 359 (Weekday only) will detour as shown below. To facilitate travel between the east and west sides of the station area, southbound trips on Route 359 will continue in service to the Amtrak Station instead of ending at Ridge/Martin.
Route 356 Sunday
Westbound: Ridge - Harwood - 183rd - Park - end at Amtrak Station
Eastbound: Start at Amtrak Station - Park - Dixie - Ridge - Harwood - 183rd (regular route)
Route 359 Weekday
Southbound: 183rd - Park - Dixie - Ridge - Harwood - 183rd - Park - end at Amtrak Station
Northbound: Start at Amtrak Station - Park - Dixie - Ridge - Harwood - 183rd (regular route)
During the detour, Route 359 weekday trips will not serve 183rd east of Harwood or Dixie south of Ridge. Passengers in downtown Homewood should use existing Pace bus stops on Ridge/Martin and Harwood/183rd. Passengers connecting to/from both Metra and Amtrak trains should use the Amtrak Station bus stop located on the west side of the tracks.
Construction is expected to continue through Fall 2024. Please allow additional travel time during this detour.
