Urgent Repairs to Close Metra Crossing at Glenview Road

GLENVIEW, IL - The Metra rail crossing east of Harlem Avenue and west of Pine Street on Glenview Road will be closed for a few days at the end of the month as urgent repairs are being made, according to the Glenview Announcements.

Traffic will be rerouted to cross the tracks at Dewes Street beginning the morning of Monday, March 28.

The project, which includes the widening of the space between the tracks from 56.5 inches to 57.34 inches - is slated to be completed in four days, with all traffic patterns returning to normal by April 1. A Metra spokesperson is hopeful the project could be completed in three days.

During that time, westbound traffic on Glenview Road will be rerouted south to Waukegan Road and eastbound traffic will be sent south on Harlem.
