Metra plans to reopen the Electric Line’s 103rd Street/Rosemoor station on March 3, the same day it plans to close the line’s 95th Street/Chicago State University station for two years of construction.
The construction is part of the Metra Electric Community Initiative to modernize 13 stations on the line stretching from the Loop to the far south suburbs.
The 103rd St./Rosemoor station is the second station to be rebuilt under a $33 million contract to also redo the 79th Street Station, which reopened in December, and the 87th Street station, which is under construction.
The rebuilt stations, funded through the Rebuild Illinois capital program, will have enclosed lobbies, elevators, and new stairs, platforms, lighting and signs.
The 95th Street/Chicago State University station is scheduled to reopen in the third quarter of 2027. The $33.4 million project will replace the station’s headhouse, platform and stairs and create a new street-level entrance on 95th Street with a new storefront and elevator.
Last December, Metra reopened the Electric Line’s rebuilt Homewood station, which it shares with Amtrak.
