CTA Halsted and 79th St Terminal Bus Turnaround Improvements

The CTA was awarded Phase II engineering and construction funding for the Halsted and 79th Street Bus Turnaround project. The goals of the project are to improve the bus turnaround located at 79th Street and Halsted Street with ADA compliance at the platform island, and to improve access to and from the site. The project will construct all improvements required to provide a continuously accessible path from the existing sidewalk to the island platform, including ADA ramps at the island platforms and curb ramps at the bus driveway. Additional improvements for the visually impaired are also included. The bus turnaround directly serves the #8 Halsted bus, the #8A South Halsted bus, and is adjacent to the 79th Street bus route.
