The Chicago Transit Authority on Sunday posted multiple alley closure and resurfacing advisories tied to the ongoing Red and Purple Line Modernization project on the city’s North Side.
The advisories, dated Nov. 9, affect alleys along the Broadway corridor from Lawrence Avenue to Bryn Mawr Avenue, according to the CTA’s website. No through traffic will be permitted in the affected alleys during work.
Specific closures include alley resurfacing east of Broadway between Argyle and Winona streets, between Ainslie and Argyle streets, and between Lawrence and Ainslie streets, along with alley apron work east of Broadway between Ainslie and Argyle. A separate advisory covers partial alley resurfacing east of Broadway between Winona and Foster avenues.
An additional advisory dated Nov. 11 alerts residents to a building demolition at 411 W. 105th St., where sidewalk and street closures may occur in the work zone.
The RPM project is the largest capital investment in CTA history and affects daily transit and street-level access for residents and commuters in the affected corridors. The CTA advised residents in the area to plan for detours and temporary access changes during the work.
