Pre-Construction Open House Presentation
Construction of the Tucson Modern Streetcar project started the week of April 2, 2012. The City of Tucson awarded the contract to Old Pueblo Trackworks - a collaboration between Granite Construction and Railworks Tracks Systems - to construct the rail line and install the overhead electrical system that will power the vehicles.
The work will start with heavy civil work with multiple crews working in construction zones three blocks at a time. These zones will proceed with rolling closures to minimize the impact to traffic and businesses. Construction to build the new streetcar line will happen in two phases.
The City of Tucson Department of Transportation (TDOT) and the RTA offer resources and advocates to help businesses before and during streetcar project construction. Ombudsmen convey information to the project team about business concerns so issues can be addressed.
