CTA awards AECOM contract for Blue Line design work.

CTA awards AECOM contract for Blue Line design work. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) board has awarded a track design contract for improvements on the Forest Park Branch of the Blue Line to AECOM Technical Services. The $17 million contract covers a 13-mile segment of track between the Illinois Medical District station and the Interstate-290 Bridge, just east of the Forest Park station. Funding for the project comes in part from a $15.8 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration Carbon Reduction Grant Program. The contract scope of work includes a field investigation of the entire corridor and design for new and upgraded infrastructure, which spans track, signals, traction power, drainage, utilities and any other facilities within the CTA right-of-way. The contract also includes a review of drainage elements along the I-290 expressway shoulders, CTA officials said in a press release. AECOM is partnering with three local firms - DB Sterling Consultants, Facet Engineering and GSG Consultants - which account for more than 15% of the contract work. This contract award marks the start of the next phase of the Forest Park Branch Rebuild project, a multi-year, multi-phased investment program that calls for reconstructing the entire Forest Park Branch of the Blue Line. The first phase was completed in 2023, and construction on a third segment will start in 2027. Currently, more than 80% of the Forest Park Branch is categorized as a "slow zone," requiring trains to operate at drastically reduced speeds for safety, CTA officials said.
