North Entrance of Harison Red line Stop Will Be Closed

Students, residents and people visiting Printer's Row and the South Loop via the Harrison Red line stop will need to use the new Polk street entrance:

Starting Monday, May 11, the Polk Street entrance will serve as the primary entrance to the Harrison Red Line station while the Harrison Street entrance is under construction. The Polk Street entrance is one block south of the Harrison entrance at the southwest corner of Polk and State. The Harrison Street entrance will remain closed for five months in order to replace the escalator that connects the mezzanine to the platform.

Seems like a long time to fix an escalator. The CTA Tattler has more info and commentary here.
