What was the budget for the Chicago Brown Line Capacity Expansion?

The Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project, also called the Ravenswood Capacity Expansion, rebuilt 18 of the 19 stations of the Chicago Transit Authority's Brown Line from Kimball to the Loop with longer platforms to allow eight-car trains, with a Full Funding Grant Agreement on 13 April 2004 and about four years of construction ending in January 2010. The CTA said in its press release of 13 April 2004 that it was a 530 million dollar project, with a federal contribution of 423.1 million.
