According to ABC 7 Chicago, construction on the CTA train station at State and Lake began this week, which will cause quite a few street closures over the next few weeks and months. The CTA train station, which is over 100 years old, will remain open during construction, but will receive wider platforms and new elevators. The initial phase of the construction project is expected to take four (4) months.
Despite the train stop staying open, there will be multiple street closures that may affect your commute should you take the bus, drive, bike or drive into the downtown loop. Here are the following street closures:
- Starting this week: Lake from Dearborn Street to Wabash Avenue will be reduced to one lane.
- Next week: State Street lanes will be shut down.
- State Street from Lake to Randolph Street will be reduced to one lane in both directions.
