UIC-Halsted (CTA)

UIC-Halsted is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Blue Line.

History

UIC-Halsted opened in 1958 as one of the new stations on the Congress Line on the median of the Congress Parkway (now Eisenhower Expressway) which replaced an older elevated line that used to run on the present Eisehhower Expressway. Like the other stations on the Congress Line (and the future Dan Ryan Line and O'Hare Line on the Kennedy Expressway) the station has a single island platform. When the station originally opened, its name was just "Halsted". In 1965 when the University of Illinois' Chicago campus was opened, the station name was changed to "U of I-Halsted" and an additional exit to Peoria Street was added to access the campus. Most older signage on the station and some older Chicagoans still refer the station and the campus as U of I-Halsted and U of I, respectively. When the University was renamed as UIC in 1982, the station name was changed to the current "UIC-Halsted". This change is reflected on CTA print media and signage.
