The Englewood Flyover is a three-track railroad overpass in Chicago . It disentangles the former level crossing between the freight route of the Norfolk Southern Railway and the Rock Island route of METRA , which had previously led to numerous delays on Metra and Amtrak trains. Two of the three tracks are currently in use.
The project consists of 4 segments with a total bridge length of more than 600 m. In addition to the NS freight route, Highway I-90 / I-94 , the Dan Ryan Branch of Chicago Elevated and several streets are crossed. The project was commissioned in 2014 and completed in 2016, including the third track. The total cost amounted to 133 million US dollars .
