CTA Track Renewal

Ragnar Benson began work in late April on the $33.8 million Track Renewal project for the Chicago Transit Authority.  The project involves replacement of deteriorated track and rail ties along the Wells and Van Buren elevated tracks, as well as track components that were installed in the early 1980s that are nearing the end of their useful life.  Portions of the Loop-elevated system that will undergo renewal work include the track and structure along Wells and Van Buren streets, the Hubbard Curve and the Tower 18 and Tower 12 junctions.
