Purple Line Will Be Improved This Year: CTA
$30 million modernization project will restore tracks on Chicago's north side.
Chicago Transit Authority officials today announced a $30 million modernization project on the CTA’s Purple Line will begin later this month, according to an NBC-5-Chicago report.
The Purple Line Express project - the largest for the rail in more than four decades - will restore tracks between the Jarvis and Lawrence stations, giving riders a “smoother, faster, and more reliable service.”
Work is expected to begin on July 20 and be completed by Thanksgiving.
