According to this video from the CTA at the beginning of the year (at 39 seconds), work is supposed to begin on State/Lake this year. However, I haven't seen any additional information (including any updated renderings of the station design) since the announcement back in 2021.

The formal bid opening by CDOT is coming up in a few weeks in May. After that, CDOT will work with the winning bidder to finalize the contract, get subs on board, etc.
Probably won't see shovels in the ground until next Spring though, and it's a 6-year construction timeline that must be coordinated around major downtown events, marathons, parades, etc.
This is basically two projects in one, not only are they rebuilding the elevated station with an ambitious world-class design but they are also expanding and renovating the underground Lake/Randolph mezzanine on the Red Line.
