Muni Metro East Light Rail Maintenance Facility

Stacy Witbeck is the managing joint venture partner on this $1.5 billion CM/GC project. Our Mid Coast Transit Constructors (MCTC) joint venture constructed the extension of SANDAG’s light rail system, extending 11 miles to the University of California’s San Diego Campus. Seven miles of the project are in a shared corridor with LOSSAN commuter rail and freight rail traffic. 

Work included nine stations, bridges, utilities, roadwork, traction power, OCS, railroad coordination, retaining walls, testing, and startup. 

This $1.5 billion CM/GC project added an 11-mile extension to the light rail system. It included 25 miles of ballasted track and 23 bridge structures, including nine heavy rail bridges and a long flyover over freight and commuter rail mainlines. Seven of the extension’s 11 miles were constructed within the LOSSAN corridor, the second busiest intercity rail corridor, which hosts freight and passenger trains daily. 

The project also included deep foundations, culvert extensions under the existing track, relocation of a US Navy fuel line and other third-party, public, and private utilities, nine stations, OCS, traction power, signals, and communications systems.
