1. Project Substantial Completion
Fluor’s joint venture achieved substantial completion on the CTA Red and Purple Line modernization project as of mid-2026, delivering key track, station and systems upgrades across the corridor. Major construction work, including civil, mechanical and electrical systems, is finalized and handed over for testing and commissioning.
2. Backlog and Revenue Recognition
