U.S. Department of Transportation announced that will provide a USD 120 mln to Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) for major improvements to the Blue Line of CTA’s “L” rail service, which will upgrade tracks and stations between the downtown Loop and Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
Significant upgrades to the track, power supply, and signal system along the 19-mile (30.6 km) stretch of the Blue Line between the Loop and O’Hare Airport stations will reduce and eliminate “slow zones,” resulting in faster, more reliable service.
In 2014, the CTA made substantial progress on Your New Blue, including the completion of the first three of 13 stations that will receive upgrades.
