It was a waste of money because it cost 2 billion dollars. With all the corruption and pork in Chicago it's impossible for them to build anything that doesn't cost 100x what it's supposed to.
"FINALLY"!! Looks Excellent👌👌👌👌! Now, I wonder what this new configuration looks like from street level, especially at the intersection of Clark and Buckingham Place? Ooops.....That was a stupid question. If I had looked at the COMPLETE video, I wouldn't have needed to ask that question😆!
I remember this area the last time I was in Chicago....7:12 definitely highlights the reason for this bypass!!!! Its going to be interesting how they're going to do the next phase of the project
@@jeffrey7737 From what I seen from a CTA presentation, they're talking about 2025. I would think they're better off closing that area and running shuttle buses instead of spending money and building temporary structure
7:42 I did see the Purple train switch to the express track just past the control tower. Will the former Kimball bound 'Brown line' track be kept as Emergency/backup/storage track ? It looks like it; it is still there. Aarre Peltomaa
0:51 Is the former track to the left ripped out ? Do Purple trains northbound take the X crossover next to the tower to get to the outside express track ? Aarre Peltomaa of Mississauga, Ontario

I rode this around 6 in the morning, I have to tell ya, it was pretty sick with the sunrise! The flyover is smooth.
Awesome gotta check it out
nice video by chicagoland transit!,,,,,this bypass is called PROGRESS !!!!!!!!!,,,very impressive !
Really like it saves time for all 3 trains going outbound
great that they finally got to this to make things more efficient. not sure why some people said this was a waste of money
You can see that it's definitely reduced overcrowding on the trains!

what's their next phase?
There is no next phase its done took 3-4 years to make that bypass
The next phase is rebuilding Clark Junction and straightening out the tracks north of the junction.
@@ChicagolandTransit aaaahhhh ok when are they estimated to finished that ?

Really well documented.
👍☺👍
No more delays north of this station. Are they talk about a new underground north of belmont?
No underground north of Belmont
You should have rode it to next stop
Which is?
@@ChicagolandTransit you seriously asking that? It would been cool to see it move through the flyover but what you did was cool too.
It would have been cool also if you watched the full video. That's why I asked....
@@ChicagolandTransit I will watch again and will stand corrected to that
👍

YOU CANNOT RECORD ON CTA PROPERTY IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PERMIT!
www.transitchicago.com/photo-policy/
"The general public is permitted to use hand-held cameras to take photographs, capture digital images, and videotape within public areas of CTA stations and transit vehicles for personal, non-commercial use."
It's also allowed under the 1st amendment of the US Constitution
Anyone has the right to record the CTA,, that's a fact.
Thats wrong learn the rules dumb fuck
NOOO, NO NO NO
