147th Street (Sibley Boulevard) Station
Since May 16, 2022, the station has been closed and undergone major renovations. Crews are making improvements such as adding bicycle parking, a kiss-and-ride, and an elevator to make the station accessible. The reconstruction was expected to take 12-15 months. During that time, the Ivanhoe and Harvey stations can be used to access Metra trains.
The station is named after both of the names for Illinois Route 83 in Harvey; Sibley Boulevard, and 147th Street. The bridge over Route 83 has a clearance of 13 ft 10 in (4.22 m), and part of the waiting room is built underneath the north side of the bridge. A large parking lot exists on the east side of the tracks between 147th Street and the Little Calumet River. A smaller parking lot exists on the southwest corner of Clinton and 146th Streets on the west side of the tracks.
