Illinois Medical District Gets Modernized CTA Station

The Chicago Transit Authority’s Illinois Medical District (IMD) Blue Line station has reopened, following a $23-million renovation and modernization project, its first major upgrade since its 1958 opening. The two-year project delivered improvements to the stationhouse and concourse, along with upgrades to the station-to-platform ramp.

“This new station will deliver a modern and accessible CTA experience to the thousands of patients, medical personnel and students that travel to the Illinois Medical District and Near-West Side every day,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The IMD station is the third busiest on the Blue Line Forest Park branch, and provides access to four major hospital systems.

The IMD work will join several other ongoing neighborhood station projects: Reconstruction of the Red Line’s 95th Street Terminal; rehab of the Addison, Irving Park, Montrose, Jefferson Park, Harlem and Cumberland stations on the Blue Line; and the renovated Quincy Station on the Brown Line.
