Renovation of the Madison Street entrance to Chicago Union Station got underway this week, with some parts of the area being fenced off.
Jones Lang LaSalle, which manages the station, is overseeing the $826,000 project, which will include repairing pavers, stairs and the ceiling. Workers will make other cosmetic improvements to the entrance.
Work is expected to be largely done at night and on weekends to minimize the effect on commuter traffic.
More than 16,000 commuter pass through the Madison entrance on a given weekday.
Performing the work is Chicago-based Bear Construction. The project is expected to take four months to complete.
