The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)’s Board of Directors approved a contract for renovations of the historic Quincy station, one of CTA’s oldest stations built in 1897. The improvements will preserve the original appearance of the Loop ‘L’ station, while upgrading the station with the addition of two elevators to make the station accessible to customers with disabilities.
The construction contract for the CTA Quincy Loop Station Upgrade Project was awarded to Ragnar Benson Construction, LLC. Construction is expected to begin later this year. The $18.2 million renovation will also include stair replacement, painting, lighting improvements and more.
“These improvements will retain the station’s historic appearance while making necessary upgrades including the addition of two elevators,” said CTA President Carter.
