There’s a lot of progress to report on the Northwest Extension, the 3.2-mile, $162 million expansion of Phoenix’s light rail system. The Sundt/Stacy and Witbeck team is performing the last stretch of roadway widening and maintaining the schedule in spite of recent heavy rains. Track installation is ongoing and the structural steel has been set for the Dunlap and Glendale stations. Construction of the Park & Ride lot, which began earlier this month with utility work, is expected to be complete in September. Roadway widening is expected to be complete mid-summer. Track placement should finish up in late summer or early fall.
