47th serves as a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, specifically on the Red Line. Positioned within the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago's Fuller Park area, entry is provided by a staircase located on the north side of the 47th Street overpass, accompanied by an open canopy crosswalk that connects to a bus stop.
This station underwent a temporary closure from May 19 until October 20, 2013, due to the Red Line Reconstruction Project.
Renovations during 2005-2006
Accessibility improvements were made on December 12, 2006, when an elevator was added to the 47th station. Shortly thereafter, escalators became available sixteen days later. Additionally, the glass canopy covering the crosswalk was upgraded to feature imagery representing the Stock Yards 'L' line, which preceded the current Red Line.
