History

Former station house, March 2009

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]
