The Regional Transportation District’s board approved a $140 million contract with Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc. and its partners to design and build an extension to RTD’s light-rail line in Denver’s southeast suburbs. The project will extend the southeast line 2.3 miles to a point south of RidgeGate Parkway in Douglas County, where parking for 1,300 vehicles will be constructed. The current route, served by the E and F trains and which ends at Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree, will feature stops, including one at Sky Ridge Medical center and a rail bridge over Interstate 25. Design work is anticipated to start this fall with construction beginning in spring 2016. The work is slated for completion by early 2019.
