Belmont is an 'L' station on the CTA's Blue Line. The station is located at Belmont and Kimball Avenues in the Avondale neighborhood. From Belmont, trains run at intervals of 2–7 minutes during rush hours, and take 16 minutes to reach the Loop.[citation needed]

History

The station on opening day, February 1, 1970

Belmont station opened in 1970 as part of an extension of the West-Northwest route to Jefferson Park in the median of the Kennedy Expressway. The station is similar in design as the previous station, Logan Square, as an underground, island platform station. Unlike Logan Square, Belmont has only one exit.

Belmont Blue Gateway Project

The $17 million project began in 2017 and was completed on March 29, 2019, with additional work continuing on the station's platform until August 30, 2019.[2][3][4]
