West Corridor light-rail project moves ahead
It’s on to full construction mode for the West Corridor light-rail segment, which is part of the FasTracks transit expansion program.
The Regional Transportation District announced Friday that it’s signed a construction agreement with Denver Transit Construction Group, which serves as notice for the contractor to move into major construction.
The West Corridor, a 12.1-mile light-rail project, is the first FasTracks corridor to start construction. Early work on the project began in mid-2008.
Major operations will begin along West 6th Avenue.
The West Corridor line will run between Denver Union Station and the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden. It‘s scheduled to open in 2013.
The overall FasTracks program is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Major subcontractors on the project include Edward Kraemer & Sons, Meza Construction, YEH and Associates, Inc. and American West Construction.
