CTA Red Line Extension Project

under construction

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has started construction on the Red Line Extension Project to improve transit access on Chicago's Far South Side. The project extends the Red Line southward from 95th Street to 130th Street, adding approximately five and a half miles of new route and four new fully accessible stations. It includes a new rail yard and maintenance facilities near 120th Street, aiming to enhance transit coverage, create jobs, and provide easier access for tourists to cultural landmarks and attractions.
