111th St./Pullman Metra Station Improvements Coming

CHICAGO, IL - An improvement project on Metra’s 111th St./Pullman Station began this month, according to the rail company. 

When the project is complete in August, the warming house and platform deck boards will be replaced and the unused portion of the platform will turn into a stairway.

“The 111th St. Station is a gateway to the Pullman National Monument and we are pleased to be able to move forward with this important rehabilitation work this year,” said Metra Executive Director/CEO Don Orseno. “And, as a member the steering committee for the ongoing Pullman Transportation Plan, we hope to be able to do even more to help promote travel to this historic site.”

The northern portion of the platform will be out of service for rehabilitation beginning on Saturday, June 18. When that portion is completed, the south half of the platform will close for four weeks as work continues there.
