Flying to Chicago O'Hare??? USE MIDWAY IN JULY or else.....

Just a heads up for anybody planning to fly to Chicago O'Hare for the next few weeks.

The CTA ( Chicago Transit Authority ) has shut down 4 miles of track that connect O'Hare Field with the rest of the L system in the city.

Passengers have to take shuttle buses to cover the 4 miles.

Those who don't want to deal with a shuttle bus can expect to pay $40-50 for a cab.

The Chicago Tribune has more.

Blue Line shuttle to O'Hare will test travelers' patience for rest of July
