The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) recently began the third and final phase of the Dan Ryan Red Line rehabilitation project, which consists primarily of station renovations.

Seven stations will receive new flooring, enhanced lighting, refurbished platform canopies, new customer assistance kiosks and improved signage. Eight escalators will be replaced and two new elevators installed to make the stations accessible to passengers with disabilities. The third phase is scheduled to be complete by late 2006.

The $282.6 million Red Line project’s first phase, during which CTA replaced crossover track, installed a temporary signal system to support the trackwork and replaced third rail, was completed in May. The project’s second phase, which includes constructing two substations and upgrading two others, is scheduled to be complete in January 2006.
