Part of State Street to close at start of December as construction work continues

The article from Yahoo News discusses the planned closure of a section of State Street in Chicago starting on Monday, April 10, 2023, for the construction of a new CTA Red Line station at 103rd Street. This closure will affect the stretch between 103rd and 104th streets, with the street expected to reopen in late 2024. The project is part of the broader Red Line Extension, which aims to extend the line by 5.6 miles from 95th Street to 130th Street, adding four new stations. The construction will also involve utility work, and while State Street will be closed, pedestrian access will be maintained, and businesses will remain open. The city has planned detours for traffic, and the project is anticipated to bring economic benefits to the area, including job creation and improved transit access.
