    Red Line South Track Renewal project Cermak-Chinatown to 95th Street Spring/Summer 2013 CTA is planning to rebuild the South Red Line from just north of Cermak-Chinatown to 95th Street. The work will benefit Red Line riders for decades to come—through faster travel times, increased reliability, and spruced-up stations with a variety of improvements. As part of the project, in Spring/Summer 2013 the Red Line will be completely closed from Roosevelt Road to 95th Street for five months. CTA will offer several alternative travel options during this closure to minimize the impact on customers as much as possible (see other side of this page). Cermak- Faster travel times Better reliability Improved stations Chinatown Project scope CTA will replace all of the ties, rails, third rails, drainage system and ballast (the stone material that holds the ties in place) in the Red Line right of way. Additionally, all nine stations along the Dan Ryan Branch will be improved, from basic enhancements like new paint and better lighting Sox-35th to additional customer amenities, like new benches and bike racks.

  • Long-Awaited Cermak-Mccormick Place Green Line Station Opens
    Long-awaited Cermak-McCormick Place Green Line station opens Jon Hilkevitch | February 9, 2015 Passengers wait on the platform for the next train Sunday at the new Cermak-McCormick Place Green Line station. roughly 2 1/2-mile gap in CTA rail service that lasted 38 years on the Near South Side was eliminated Sunday, when Green Line trains started making stops at a station on Cermak A Road near State Street. The new $50 million Cermak-McCormick Place station is within walking distance of the Motor Row entertainment district and McCormick Place. City officials and developers said they are optimistic that the new access to rapid transit will help accelerate the expansion of businesses and housing in the South Loop area. They also expect that conventioneers and other visitors to McCormick Place and to a planned DePaul University arena nearby will take advantage of riding public transit instead of driving. The first big test will come this weekend when the Chicago Auto Show opens at McCormick Place. The show runs Saturday through Feb. 22. The wheelchair-accessible station, equipped with two elevators from the street to the platform, has entrances on both sides of Cermak at State Street and an additional entrance a long city block to the south, on 23rdStreet, to provide a link for people going to McCormick Place. The convention center, the future DePaul sports facility and a planned 1,200-room Marriott hotel are a couple of blocks east of the station. Four CTA bus routes — No. 1 Bronzeville/Union Station, No. 4 Cottage Grove, No.
