Outbound side of Western CTA Brown Line station closed for renovation project
CHICAGO -- 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.
Also planned are a new bus boarding island and canopy structure for those who use the bus turnaround outside the station. Sidewalks will also be replaced on Western Avenue in front of the station, and lighting will be upgraded in the walkway between the station and Lincoln Avenue.The upgraded interior will also feature new accent lighting to highlight a piece of the Berlin Wall on display in the station, which is located in a historically German American neighborhood.
