Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has announced that a USD 23 million project to renovate and modernize the Illinois Medical District (IMD) Blue Line station will begin next month.
The project will be the largest renovation to the busy rail station since it opened more than 50 years ago. CTA will rebuild the main stationhouse and make numerous improvements that will increase accessibility for customers at the station.
The IMD Station is the third-busiest station on the Blue Line Forest Park branch with more than 1 million station entries last year.
Work will begin in September and the project is expected to be completed in late 2017. The project is funded through TIF funds.
