Scope Of Work
Through two contracts, Balfour Beatty Infrastructure is building the Civil Segment A and the Track and Systems components of the new Charlotte Blue Line LYNX light rail extension. The Blue Line will extend Charlotte’s LYNX light rail system 9.3-miles northeast from Ninth Street in Center City through the North Davidson and University areas, terminating on the UNC Charlotte campus. The project will reduce overall congestion on I-85 by offering service to 11 new stations planned along the extension. Balfour Beatty Infrastructure is responsible for the construction of the ballasted track, traction power system, overhead catenary system, train control, communications and other systems along the alignment as well as 11 traction power substations.
