MARTA’s Track Replacement Project will replace heavy rail between Buckhead and Medical Center stations beginning Friday, Feb. 18.
The dedicated track and facility will give the MBTA flexibility and control over the testing process and will allow a faster rollout of the new fleet.
The $203 million reconstruction of the CTA’s Wilson Red Line station included replacing century-old track structure.
Including signal upgrades, the MBTA is investing nearly $2 billion in both lines as part of the Red Line/Orange Line Infrastructure Improvement Program.
The bus will serve IndyGo’s Red Line, a 13.1-mile BRT route that runs between Broad Ripple on the north side of the city and the University of Indianapolis on the south side.
The popularity of the subway system sparked a renaissance of rail planning and construction in L.A. County that now spans 105 miles of Metro Rail, with four new projects currently under construction.
The site civil work, including roadway and sidewalk construction, will be carried out by Rieth-Riley Construction Co. Inc., and the station canopy construction and related buildout work will be done by FA Wilhelm Construction.
The investment will allow CTA to continue to move forward with preliminary engineering and analysis necessary to finalize the project alignment and to complete a final environmental impact statement.
In addition to regular cellular service, emergency 911 calls can also be made by Metro riders. In the event of an emergency, riders are reminded to first contact the train operator via the emergency intercom system located on board trains and on station platforms.
In the first-ever documentation of its kind, the Chicago Transit Authority has created a real-time ride along the length of each rail line. Shot in HD, you can now experience the 'L' like never before from the vantage point of the rail operator. You can even transfer between lines. Published on Dec. 19, 2014
