Thought it would be an interesting update for our members just in case no one has yet seen or heard it from the Trib, other outlets or CTA itself. When I recently passed Damen on the Green Line, there was no activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of slow, the groundbreaking ceremony occurred when Rahm Emmanuel was still mayor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 They’re definitely working on the station house area now. Flaggers were needed for the past month or two because a rig used to drill holes for the piles/foundation was working close to the elevated structure, as well as occasional surveying and other work beforehand. Now it’s just workers who are working at ground level where the station house is going to be, but there are slow zone signs in place for both directions that can be set up for when the work starts moving upwards. They’ve been installed since at least this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChicagoRail Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 I rode in both directions on Damen past Lake Street. No pics, but I did see that they were working to build the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 All the work being done is still at or below track level, but there are some significant things the construction crews have done. Some of the support beams holding up the track have been cut out and replaced. If you ride by you can see it on the cross girders where the ends are gray as opposed to painted the same color as the rest of the steel structure. And a lot of the foundation for the station house is there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could see, the area where the station house is in be built is surrounded by fencing and there is a lot of material inside the fence but nothing elected yet.

From my observations southbound trains slow down around Leavitt St or Hoyne Ave. Northbound trains get slowed down almost immediately after the first car clears Paulina Junction. When the slow zones are active the southbound 6 MPH limit begins by the Rivian Service Center, and the northbound one begins right by a lot with a bunch of wrecked cars. For now you won’t be seeing anything unless you’re riding up on the trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Most of the big additions happen overnight, like the big steel sections that will support the platforms. There are flaggers at Harlem who are now getting assigned overnight shifts at Damen in addition to those who flag during the day. The contractors have been working on the site longer to get the station built faster, and it’s easier during that 2-3 hour period when the Green Line isn’t running overnight to add those big sections by crane.

I heard that it open early April My most recent ride by there was in January. No way do I think it would be early April. My guess would be late fall at the earliest. The platforms were only partially laid and the station house wasn't built at all. I might get another look sometime this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any Lake street riders seen progress more recently? Why don't you read @rl12383's post above? Or look at the March CT Board Meeting video, where "your Chief Infrastructure Officer William Moody" said mid summer? In short, why reask a question that was already answered?

This is looking just west of Lake and Damen while heading northbound. I only had time to snap the one because the light changed green just as I was going to try another view.
