The Cross County extension of the MetroLink transit system will
connect additional communities by adding 8-miles to the existing
rail system, which currently spans the 38-miles from Scott Air Force
Base in Illinois to Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport in
Saint Louis, Missouri.
The extension includes a major reconstruction of the Forest Park
station and the addition of nine new stations (two with Park-N-Ride
lots). Approximately 22 new light rail vehicles will be needed to
carry the additional 18,000 daily riders.
KWAME was responsible for providing estimating, scheduling, document
control, cost control and invoicing services. In addition, value
engineering, constructibility reviews, and the development and management
of the Quality Assurance program were all part of KWAME's scope
for the project.
