The CTA Red-Purple Bypass is visibly missing chunks of concrete just months after opening, which the city said is caused by spalling but is safe.
The CTA said the damage is purely cosmetic, and there are no structural issues with the new section of track. But the areas of missing concrete, exposing rebar and other materials, are visible from the street and an alarming sight for some.
But transit officials say the brand new structure, known as the Red-Purple Bypass, is perfectly safe. So what exactly is the issue? CTA said it's a condition called spalling, likely due to water getting into components and then freezing, causing concrete to loosen. And so CTA said it's direct the contractor, Walsh-Fluor, to remove that loose concrete.
