Construction Near Western Brown Line

Coming Fall of 2025. Construction is underway for key parts of the Lincoln Square Master Plan, and will finish by Fall of 2025. This is the result of a multi-year community process and historic local investments. At the end, we’ll enjoy improved plazas, a new walking path and lighting, better farmers market space, and a more enjoyable walking and shopping experience.

What To Expect

In The next Few Weeks

Construction crews are in a demolition phase at the intersection of Leland and Lincoln Ave which will last until the end of July. As a result, there is no vehicle access on Lincoln Ave between Leland and Eastwood. At the end of this phase, crews will have poured a new sidewalk on Western Ave and completed necessary electrical work in the CTA Plaza.

In The next Few Months

After finishing major demolition milestones, in August, we expect construction crews will begin to re-pour sidewalks and repave streets, including XXX improvements. We do/do not expect street closures at this phase.
