Lombard Safe Passage Across the Railway Crossing with Construction of Pedestrian Tunnel

The Daily Herald reports

Lombard’s no-frills Metra station will receive a makeover starting this spring with a pedestrian underpass plus canopies and shelters on the platforms.

Metra directors Friday approved an $8 million contract with John Burns Construction Co. with work expected to start this spring and last 10 months.

Currently, pedestrians use walkways across the tracks to reach the other side. The improvements are part of a series of safety upgrades along the Union Pacific West Line.
