CTA Hires Planning Consultant for Red Line Extension
The Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) board recently approved a $38.3-million contract to T. Y. Lin International Great Lakes, Inc. to provide planning and preliminary engineering services for the Red Line Extension, which will extend the agency’s busiest rail line from 95th to 130th Street on the Far South Side.
T. Y. Lin’s work will include preparation of the project’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The work completed under this contract will allow the Red Line Extension project to advance through the project development phase, which is the next step of the federal funding process.
“CTA is committed to ensuring that every community has access to public transit, and we are focused on following the extensive, federally required process to the letter to make that a reality,” said CTA president Dorval R. Carter, Jr.
The contract has a base term of three funded years with six unfunded, one-year options.
Connect Industrial Midwest is coming to Rosemont, IL on March 4. For more information, or to register, click here.
