State/Lake station

State/Lake is a temporarily closed 'L' station serving the CTA's Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines on The Loop. It is located in the Chicago Loop at 200 North State Street. Like all Loop stations, it has two side platforms. The CTA offers farecard transfers between this station and the Lake subway station on the Red Line. Unlike most stations, there is no in-station transfer between directions.

History
State/Lake station opened on September 22, 1895, as part on the Lake Street Elevated Railroad's extension into the Chicago Loop that later became the north side of the Union Loop. One of a series of videos "shot on iPhone 6" to feature in a 2015 Apple advertising campaign features the short journey between Randolph/Wabash and State/Lake shot in time lapse. Reconstruction In 2021, the Chicago Transit Authority and the Chicago Department of Transportation proposed modernizing and rebuilding the station. Design concepts included the addition of a large glass canopy, wider side platforms, direct access to the State Street subway, and accessibility features like elevators. Work began in August 2025, at which point the project was planned to cost $444 million. The station was closed on January 5, 2026, and will reopen in 2029. ==Bus connections==
