Moving Day

On August 2 and 3, 2021, the CTA moved The Vautravers Building located at the corner of Clark and Newport 35 feet to the west so that the curve in the Red Line ‘L’ tracks could be straightened out. Wolf House and Building Movers engineered and handled the move using state-of-the-art equipment. The move was part of the $570 million Brown Line Flyover Project. Preparations for the move began in April 2021.
