Mid-Coast Transit Contractors, a joint venture of Skanska, Herzog, and Stacy and Witbeck, has been awarded a $921.8 million contract for construction manager/general contractor from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to construct the Mid-Coast Trolley. Skanska USA Civil will include its $307.3 million portion of the contract in its third quarter 2016 order bookings.
The Mid-Coast Trolley, an extension of the existing Metropolitan Transit System Trolley Blue Line, will extend existing service from the Old Town Transit Center to the University City community. The 11.5-mile line will serve the Mission Bay area, the VA Medical Center, the University of California San Diego, and Westfield UTC Transit Center. The line will feature nine new stations.
Construction of the project is under way, with revenue service anticipated to begin in 2021.
Stacy and Witbeck is the joint venture lead. Designers for the project are Parsons Brinkerhoff, Kimley Horn and HDR.
