EXP is part of the design-build design team that has been selected to design and build Phase One of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Program. The $2.1B project is the largest capital project in CTA’s history and will deliver improved infrastructure and ridership capacity along Chicago’s most utilized transit lines. This team is designing and building stations, bridges and track along a century- old corridor between Lawrence and Bryn Mawr Avenues on the Red Line, the agency’s busiest line. The project also includes rebuilding the Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr stations and all the tracks and support structures for more than a mile adjacent to the stations, as well as new bridges, tracks and 3.2 miles of signal system upgrades. Temporary stations are being constructed to accommodate passengers while new stations are constructed. EXP is leading design of the Red-Purple bypass, carrying the northbound-to-westbound Brown Line track over the Red-Purple North Mainline Tracks. The flyover bypass will eliminate train congestion by allowing eight more Red Line trains per hour during rush periods, accommodating up to 7,200 additional customers per hour during rush periods and increasing speeds through the intersection. fly-over bypass Map of the Red-Purple Modernization project scope

This highly anticipated $3.9B program is expanding the blue line eastward for five stops from the existing blue line. The project includes 6km of underground subway expansion, 5 new stations, 2 bus terminals, attachment center, new underground 1,200 space parking lot and renovation of 20 existing stations. The project is anticipated to finish construction in 2026. EXP is part of the JV team providing preliminary design and project oversight services for the Société de Transport de Montréal (STM). EXP is providing a variety of engineering services, including a preliminary studies update, tunnel and building engineering and work supervision / construction engineering and inspection.
