Kenwood neighbors who almost literally have the Southwest Light Rail line (Green Line Extension) in their backyard took a behind-the-scenes tour of the infamous tunnel. Donning safety gear, neighbors were able to explore the tunnel from the north end where they learned about the construction process and challenges.
A train passed during the tour, illustrating the close proximity of the three lines and the importance of safety measures.
Kenilworth bike and walking trails are scheduled to open in 2025 and the Green Line Extension is slated to carry its first passengers in 2027.
This is the last stretch of the line to be completed, so Kenwood, Cedar-Isles-Dean and West Bde Maka Ska will continue to experience construction noise, detours, dust and vibrations until the end of project construction.
