Final Phase Of Wilson Station Reconstruction Project Set To Begin Thursday

Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the Wilson Station Reconstruction Project is set to begin its final phase of renovations Thursday.

The $203 million project at the corner of Broadway and Wilson Avenue in Uptown is 75 percent complete. A fully-accessible station and the planned track improvements could be completed by the end of the year, the city said.

Beginning Monday, CTA trains will operate on the new elevated tracks as it begins to demolish the last of the old tracks, the city said.

The station will be open for the rest of the year and customers won’t see any changes to Red and Purple Line Express trains service, the city said.
