CTA Wilson Station Construction

Via the CTA

CTA will be performing work on the south end of the Wilson Red Line Station.  CTA will be working from December 5 through December 8 and December 12 through December 15 for a 56-hour continuous closure of the Wilson platform from 8pm Friday to 4:00am Monday.  A description of the work and customer impact is as follows:

CTA will be replacing support bents at the south end of the Wilson platform, as well as doing other work on the decking.  In order to perform this work, CTA will need a ride by on the northbound track.  On the southbound track, the train will be redirected to the auxiliary platform at Wilson.

Therefore, the Wilson platform will be closed to customer traffic.  However, the station will remain open.

Customers travelilng southbound to and from Wilson will be able to board/disembark trains via the auxiliary platform at the Wilson Station.  

Customers traveling northbound towards Wilson will have to proceed to Lawrence (due to the ride by northbound), then board a southbound train back to Wilson.  

Customers wanting to travel northbound from Wilson will need to board a southbound train via the auxiliary platform, travel to Sheridan and board a northbound train at Sheridan (or walk to the Lawrence station).
