With major renovations already underway at several Metra Electric line stations, more work is planned for Olympia Fields and Chicago State University stops.
He said capital funding granted by the General Assembly over past years in addition to federal infrastructure money have provided Metra “more capital money than we’ve ever had in our history.”“We made the repairs to the stairway there,” Gillis said. “We do have plans to do a full rehab there, but those are in the early stages, so early that we don’t really have a timeline for that yet.”
Gillis said Metra is investing $3.4 million in preliminary engineering, environmental review and final design phase activities for the Olympia Fields station as well as $17.7 million for construction to begin in 2026. The existing tunnel will be gutted and repaired after complaints of water leakage, he said, and passengers can expect amenities such as LED monitors, lighting and signage.
