Timeline for Brown Line station closings
The Sun-Times today provides the first detailed list I've seen of what stations would be closed and when during the Brown Line expansion project. (Thanks to Gapers Block for the tip.)
Copied from the Sun-Times report:
Work would start with Belmont and Fullerton, which are set to undergo the most significant overhauls.
Next on the list is construction and weekend closures at Sedgwick, Armitage and Chicago. And later this year, construction is slated to start at the Western stop, which will remain open, and at Kedzie and Rockwell, which are set to close for up to eight months.
Barring delays, station expansion work and yearlong station closures could begin at the Addison and Montrose stations in December.
In 2006, renovations and temporary closures are expected to start at the Southport and Diversey stations in February and at the Kimball and Francisco stations in August.
In 2007, stations at the Irving Park and Damen stops are set to shut down for January makeovers, with construction and closings starting at Paulina in the spring and Wellington later that year.
The story also reports that construction may be delayed because the CTA hasn't yet acquired all the property needed to complete the project.
The CTA's Web site has details without timelines on the scope of the work.
