Clark Street Closure: Advance Utility Relocation Work March 4 – April 7
Since summer 2018, CTA has been working with local utility companies to relocate utility lines, poles and equipment ahead of the start of the Red and Purple Modernization Phase One Project. A full closure of Clark Street from Roscoe to Buckingham for approximately five weeks is required to relocate utility lines and equipment – for natural gas, water and telecommunications utilities -- underneath Clark to make room for new CTA track structure foundations for a new Red-Purple Bypass.
Service Impacts:
CTA #22 Clark bus will be rerouted to operate via Clark, Belmont, Sheffield and then resume the normal route at Sheffield/Clark/Newport – in both directions.
Traffic, Parking and Sidewalk Impacts:
Vehicle traffic will be rerouted in both directions via Clark, Belmont, Sheffield and then resume the normal route at Sheffield/Clark/Newport.
Parking will be limited within the closure area.
Sidewalks and pedestrian access to businesses will remain open.
