The main entrance to Union Station will be closed for painting and metal restoration work starting today through April 4. During this time, visitors should use the South Breezeway entrance, which is just around the corner to the right of the main entrance.

Once the work is complete, pedestrians will be able to enter through the very first set of completely restored doors and storefront since 1939.

Here’s the previous post about some of the other maintenance and restoration work that’s been taking place around Union Station recently.
