A $140 million project in Englewood, Chicago planned since 2002, began construction in 2011. The junction would get a flyover for Metra trackage above a Norfolk Southern route, eliminating a diamond crossing. 138 trains a day operate through the junction, which is the cause of the majority of delays in the Midwest for Amtrak trains. On June 22, 2011, it was announced that the State of Illinois, Amtrak, Norfolk Southern, and the Federal Railway Administration had signed a final agreement for financing the project with the federal government paying 95% of the cost. The project was completed and began service in October 2014.
