Sidewalk Closure on S. Princeton Avenue to Facilitate Essential Transit Infrastructure Work
Chicago, IL – August 1, 2025 – The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is announcing a temporary sidewalk closure on South Princeton Avenue, between 113th and 114th Streets, to facilitate important infrastructure maintenance. This work is scheduled to take place from July 29, 2025, through August 8, 2025.
The closure is necessary to allow for essential potholing and related investigative work as part of the Red Line Extension (RLE) project. This crucial phase of the project involves carefully excavating small, controlled areas (potholes) to identify and assess underground utilities and conditions. This detailed examination is a vital step in ensuring the safe and efficient construction of the Red Line extension, which will bring expanded rail service to the Far South Side.
During the period of the sidewalk closure, pedestrians will be rerouted to the opposite side of South Princeton Avenue. The CTA is working diligently to minimize any disruption to the community and to ensure the safety of all individuals in the area. Detour signage will be clearly posted to guide pedestrians around the work zone.
The CTA expresses its gratitude for the understanding and cooperation of residents and visitors during this period. This essential work is a necessary component of the larger Red Line Extension project, which aims to significantly improve transit accessibility and mobility for many Chicagoans.
