Project Details

  • Construction Value: $440M

  • Completed: 1998 - 2002

The Blue Line Rail Extension is located in Los Angeles and Pasadena, California. Work on the light rail extension required tracks, signal work, stations, cut-and cover tunnels, a maintenance facility and rolling stock.

The extension runs along the existing rail right of way from Los Angeles to Claremont. Phase I of the Project extended 13.7 miles from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, serving the communities of Los Angeles, South Pasadena, and Pasadena. Six new stations were located in Los Angeles, one in South Pasadena and six in Pasadena.

Services provided by TEC included consulting support to the Project Management Oversight, such as:

  • Detailed value-engineering studies, including modified platform designs on selected stations.

  • Revised at-grade platform construction methods, and more efficient use of Authority radio facilities.

  • The study included alternative design and construction approaches.

  • Constructability and Design Reviews.

  • Quarterly Cost and Schedule Reviews.

  • Evaluated utility work proposed by DWP.
