RTA W. 117 rapid station will close indefinitely for repairs

Zoom in: RTA says the station's track bridges and platform were constructed in 1953, and the current project will extend their service life in part by improving surface drainage.

• The project also includes patching concrete curb walls and replacing sidewalk handrails at the station.

Between the lines: Red Line riders will have to get off at the stop directly to the east (W. Blvd. — Cudell) or the west (Triskett) and complete their journey on foot, by bike or by bus.

• Bus service at W.117 — Madison will continue during construction.
• The #25 provides east-west service on Madison; the #78 provides north-south service on W. 117th.
