CTA Breaks Ground on Red Line Modernization
City officials and Congressional leaders came together recently to break ground on the historic Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project, which is part of the Chicago Transit Authority’s $2.1-billion Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One Project.
CTA will begin this spring rebuilding the 100-year-old Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr Red Line stations and track structures on its busiest rail line through North Side neighborhoods. The new stations will open by the end of 2024, and will include elevators, wider platforms, and other improved amenities.
The transit agency will also rebuild the century-old track structure between the four contiguous stations, with the intent of providing a smoother, more comfortable and more reliable ride.
“CTA customers will see a significant improvement in service with increased accessibility to rail service, less crowding on trains and rail platforms and shorter commute times,” said CTA president Dorval Carter.
