Cermak–McCormick Place is the newest station on the Chicago Transit Authority's Green Line. The station, designed by Chicago-based Ross Barney Architects, is located at Cermak Road and State Street in the Near South Side neighborhood of Chicago. The station includes three entrances – one on each side of Cermak Road and one at 23rd Street. The main station entrance is built on the north side of Cermak road.[2]

The new station replaced the original Cermak station that opened on June 6, 1892, closed on September 9, 1977, and was demolished in 1978.[3] Both the former and the new station are situated south of Roosevelt/Wabash and north of 35th–Bronzeville–IIT.

On January 17, 2012, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel announced at a press conference that the Cermak station would be rebuilt in order to serve McCormick Place.[4][5] A groundbreaking ceremony for the new station was held on August 29, 2013.[6][7] The new Cermak-McCormick Place station opened on February 8, 2015.[8][9]

Notes

  1. ↑ Due to possible double-counting of physically-connected stations, the CTA's official 2015 tally of stations was 146, but for ridership purposes reported having only 143 stations.
