After a long wait, four CTA Red Line stations reopened this weekend in Uptown and Edgewater on the city’s North Side. The Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr stops reopened Sunday morning after being closed for the past four years while they underwent massive renovations as part of Phase 1 of CTA’s $2 billion Red and Purple Line Modernization Project.
