RSSDenver’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) Board of Directors has approved a US$140 million two-phased contract award to 1146 Balfour Beatty Infrastructure (BBII) to design and build the Southeast Rail Extension.
Design will begin during the fall with construction expected to start in spring 2016.
The Southeast Rail Extension will build an additional 2.3 miles of light rail on the existing Southeast Rail Line south of Lincoln. When complete it will include an end-of-line station at RidgeGate Parkway, plus add 1,300 parking spaces, and bus transfer and kiss-n-ride facilities. In addition, two more stations will be added as walk-up or neighbourhood stations.
