Extensions in Progress
A 5.2-mile (8.4 km) expansion of the Red Line from Shiloh-Scott to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah received $96 million in funding from the State of Illinois in 2019.[6] The expansion will include a 2.6-mile double-track section, a 2.6-mile single-track section and a passenger station at the end of the alignment at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport.[7] Design is expected to be complete in August 2022 with a groundbreaking taking place shortly after. The expansion is expected to be operational by Spring 2025.[8]
