Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)
Red Purple Modernization - Phase One

Owner's Representative

Chicago, Illinois

Start Date Arcadis is the managing partner of Elevated Solution Partners — a joint venture with
January 2019 Jacobs Engineering and Ardmore Roderick — to serve as Chicago Transit Authority’s
(CTA) Owner’s Representative for the first phase of the Red and Purple Modernization
Completion Date (RPM) program. This $2.3 Billion project is the largest capital improvement project in CTA
2026 history.

Construction Cost The project corridor is a 9.6-mile stretch of track that was built nearly a century ago. The
$2.3 Billion aging infrastructure requires frequent maintenance, which is costly and hinders service.

The program will be completed in phases, allowing CTA to maximize improvements while
minimizing impacts on riders and the community. Construction on the first phase is set to
begin in the second half of 2019 and finish in 2025. It will include:

• Red-Purple Bypass: A bypass will be built north of the Belmont station to address
significant capacity constraints caused by a 112-year-old track junction where the
Brown Line intersects with the Red and Purple lines. It will carry northbound Brown
Line trains up and over Red and Purple Line tracks, allowing for more train service to
reduce overcrowding and delays.

• Lawrence-Bryn Mawr Modernization: Four aging stations (Lawrence, Argyle,
Berwyn and Bryn Mawr), along with the existing four-track alignment will be rebuilt.
The new stations will include modern amenities and elevators to make them
accessible to riders with disabilities. The new track structure will provide better
clearance over the existing streets and wider station platforms improve train speeds
and service reliability.

• Track Work: The project will also repair the slow zones along the entire corridor and
include a new high capacity signal system from Belmont Station to Howard Yard. New
interlockings will provide operational flexibility along the alignment.

Oak Park Station Masonry Repairs

Oak Park, Illinois

Start Date
February 2015
Completion Date
March 2016

Arcadis provided façade and building envelope repairs to the Oak Park Station on the UP West Line. The masonry
walls at this station were deteriorated and remedial repairs were required to prevent more extensive and more
costly damage. The project included demolition and reconstruction of some of the masonry walls and piers; the
installation of a new damage resistant stone base at the wall/platform interface; a partial resurfacing of the
platform; the application of a protective treatment on the masonry surfaces; and repairs to damaged lights and
associated conduit to improve lighting at the entrance to the station.

This work was scheduled to be completed prior to the winter holidays, but due to a concrete topping product
change, the work extended into the holiday season. The Village of Oak Park asked for the platform portion of the
project to be temporarily put on hold during the shopping season prior to Christmas. The masonry work continued
without any shopping interruptions to the public. The staging of the platform topping work to correct the drainage
was to be done by closing an entrance and a portion of the platform in order to scarify the existing platform
surface and apply the new concrete topping finish. The station remained open to the transit public during the
complete topping installation work.
