City’s Mayor, Rahm Emanuel, and the President of Chicago Transit Authority, Dorval Carter, officially opened the first of the two-new bus and rail terminal facilities at 95th Street. The completion of the South Terminal is a major milestone in a USD 280 million project that is building a state-of-the-art 95th/Dan Ryan station on the city’s South Side.
The 95th/Dan Ryan station is one of CTA’s busiest stations, with 24-hour Red Line service and more than 20,000 bus and rail passengers daily. When the North Terminal is completed later this year, 95th/Dan Ryan will be a signature station on Chicago’s South Side, providing CTA riders with modern transport services.
“The new 95th street CTA terminal is a major investment in Chicago’s South Side and represents a true collaboration from the federal, state, local and community levels. Our investments in transport aren’t just about moving people around the city, they’re about moving our city forward, creating jobs, driving development, connecting residents and securing our place as a world-class city in the 21st century,” Mayor Emanuel said.
The South Terminal opened on time and on budget, and a new North Terminal is now under construction and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2018.
