87th station
87th is a station on Chicago's "L" system, situated on the Chicago Transit Authority's Red Line. Positioned within the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway, it primarily serves the Chatham area. The facility features two access points: the original entrance on the south side at 87th Street, which has been operational since 1969, and a newer entrance on the north side, introduced during the Dan Ryan Red Line Rehabilitation initiative.
2013 refurbishment
During the 2013 Red Line South Reconstruction effort, 87th station underwent upgrades that included the installation of a new elevator. This enhancement, implemented alongside similar improvements at Garfield and 63rd stations, ensured full accessibility across all stops on the Dan Ryan branch.
