Phoenix, AZ – The Valley Metro Rail Board of Directors approved a contract with Stacy and Witbeck/Sundt to begin the pre-construction phase of the Gilbert Road Extension.
"We look forward to building the next segment of light rail with Stacy and Witbeck/Sundt and Jacobs Engineering,” said Steve Banta, Valley Metro CEO.
"Both firms have a strong track record building light rail in the Valley as part of the team that constructed the original 20 miles.”
The Valley Metro Rail Board also authorized a contract in August with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. for Gilbert Road design services at $7 million. The project will expand light rail nearly two miles on Main Street from Mesa Drive east to Gilbert Road and includes two light rail stations, a transit center and park-and-ride.
The Gilbert Road Extension is an important link that will connect our neighborhoods to downtown Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix,” said Mesa Mayor John Giles. “The East Valley has embraced the growth of light rail as a transportation option along with the economic development revival that comes with this type of investment.”
