Howard Street Is Closed At Metra Track For Construction

It will be closed through Nov. 1; here are suggested alternate routes.


Howard Street is closed through Nov. 1 at the Metra train tracks, as Metra works on an ongoing construction project to upgrade the rail crossing.

The project includes track repairs and resurfacing at the crossing, which is proximate to Lehigh Avenue.  

Motorists coming from the west (Niles) can drive east as far as Lehigh Avenue, where they will have to turn south (right turn) to Touhy Avenue or north (left turn) to Oakton Street. 

Motorists coming from the east (Skokie) can turn right on Gross Point Road.
