Clark/Division is an "L" station on the CTA's Red Line. It is a subway station with one island platform located at 1200 North Clark Street, in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, between the Gold Coast and Old Town. Much of Chicago's North Loop nightlife, including the Rush Street district and many bars and nightclubs are located close to the station.
Clark/Division station is in the State Street subway, which opened on October 17, 1943. From Clark/Division northbound trains travel west along Division Street, turning northwest at Clybourn Avenue to North/Clybourn station, a distance of about NaNmiles to the northwest. Southbound trains turn south to follow State Street to Chicago/State station, about NaNmiles to the south.

The station remained open during the project.[3] The renovation has a projected cost of $50 million.[4] The renovation of the Clark mezzanine and entrances was completed on September 29, 2015.[5]
