This map depicts the second phase of the reconstruction of station, which took place in 2016.

During this phase (which began on March 21, 2016) the new Track 1 (the westernmost track) was placed in service as was the new southbound platform. Southbound Red Line trains were routed onto Track 1 just south of Lawrence and shared this track with the southbound Purple Line Express trains. In the morning rush period, southbound express trains continued making stops at Wilson and Sheridan, but discontinued serving Addison.

The existing structure supporting Track 2 was demolished allowing for the construction of the structure supporting the northern portion of Track 2.
