DART, LACMTA kick off construction of transit expansion projects

摘要

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) celebrated the start of construction of its South Oak Cliff Three Line project, a 2.6-mile extension of the DART Blue Line from Ledbetter Station to the UNT Dallas campus. The project is highlighted by two stations, Camp Wisdom and UNT Dallas and a redesigned Ledbetter Station, currently the southern terminus of the line. The extension is scheduled to open in late 2016, which is three years ahead of the previously scheduled 2019 opening. In other transit news, construction began January 21 on the Crenshaw/ LAX Transit Project, an 8.5-mile, $2.058-billion light-rail line that will run between the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (LACMTA) Expo and Green lines and is expected to open in 2019.
