CHICAGO (WLS) -- CTA Red Line trains are running in the subway downtown again after being rerouted due to police activity Wednesday morning, the CTA said.

Red Line trains were diverted on the elevated tracks between Fullerton and Cermak-Chicago. Authorities were investigating reports of a suspicious package at the Grand station.

"We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Allow extra travel time," the CTA said.

Trains have resumed normal in the subway again and are stopping at the Grand station again after being bypassed earlier.
