The Chicago Transit Authority announced Friday that sidewalks near W. 115th Street will close to accommodate track-column infrastructure work between S. Lafayette and S. Perry avenues.
The closures will alternate between the north and south sides of W. 115th Street during construction, according to a CTA notice posted Oct. 16. The agency did not specify an end date for the work in its public notice.
The project area sits on the Far South Side near the CTA Red Line’s southern terminus. Pedestrians who regularly use the affected sidewalks should plan alternate routes while crews complete the structural work on track columns.
The 115th Street closure is one of several active construction notices the CTA posted in recent days. Other projects include sidewalk and driveway closures for reconstruction near W. Catalpa Avenue, alley resurfacing along N. Broadway near Bryn Mawr Avenue and curb installation in alleys near N. Winthrop Avenue.
A separate notice posted the same week announced site preparation and tree removal at Wendell Smith Park, 9912 S. Princeton Ave., where work may include fence installation and sewer repairs.
Residents and commuters with questions about CTA construction projects can contact the agency’s media relations department at ctamedia@transitchicago.com or 312-681-3090.
