advertisement
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) recently awarded a design-build contract to Austin Bridge & Road for the Blue Line extension between Garland and Rowlett, Texas.
Work on the nearly five-mile line is expected to begin next month. The $188 million extension is scheduled to open in December 2012.
The extension is part of DART's aim to more than double its 45-mile light-rail system by 2013. In September, the agency plans to open the first phase of the Green Line between Victory Station and Fair Park. The remainder of the line between Pleasant Grove, Farmers Branch and Carrollton is scheduled to open in December 2010. In addition, DART is planning a new Orange Line between Irving and DFW Airport.
