The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) on Monday held a groundbreaking ceremony for the city center guideway and stations (CCGS) portion of its Skyline passenger-rail line in Hawaii.
The Skyline project’s third phase, the CCGS segment calls for constructing six rail stations and about three miles of elevated guideway beginning near the Middle Street Transit Center Station and ending at the Ka‘akaukukui (Civic Center) Station in Honolulu.
The segment is expected to be completed by 2030. Last year, HART awarded a contract to Tutor Perini Corp. to design and construct the third segment.
“[This] marks a major milestone in our journey toward a better connected and accessible Oahu,” said Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi in a press release. “Breaking ground on the third segment of Skyline is not just about building the infrastructure to bring the rail system into the downtown area, it’s about laying the foundation for the future of this island and developing sustainable transportation alternatives to serve neighboring communities.”
The Skyline will be an 18.9-mile automated fixed-guideway line. Skyline service began in June 2023 along the first phase portion, which runs 11 miles between the East Kapolei and Aloha Stadium stations. The second segment, which will run between Aloha Stadium and the Middle Street Transit Center, is slated for completion in late 2025.
