Project Description
The CTA's Forest Park Blue Line Upgrades Project is the first of four phases of the Forest Park Branch.
This project will provide for new trackwork from Halsted to IMD, an accessible station at Racine,
advanced utility work, and a new substation and traction power equipment upgrades at Hermitage. This
work will enhance service quality via speed, reliability, and comfort, and improve operational efficiency on
the Forest Park Branch of CTA's rapid transit Blue Line service.
