Granite Launches ADA Upgrade on Homewood Amtrak Station
Infrastructure contractor Granite, based in Watsonville, CA, has begun work for a $13-million upgrade at the Homewood, IL Amtrak and Metra Station in Chicago’s south suburbs. Due for completion in December 2021, the project will bring the Homewood station into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Granite will be responsible for the renovation of a portion of the existing Homewood station’s building and surrounding site. Scope of work will include modifications to the sidewalks and parking lot, interior and exterior signage, and the replacement of the existing track level asphalt platform with a new 650-foot boarding platform.
“Given that this project includes multiple stakeholders and a fast-paced schedule, Granite’s team has provided and will maintain a detailed phasing plan to ensure this project is safe, high-quality and is completed on-time,” said Granite regional VP Benj Harding. “The robust phasing plan has been developed to minimize disruption to the traveling public.”
