Metro Gold Line

Southern California celebrated the completion of its rail transit segment, thanks to the July 2003 on-time opening of the 13.7-mi.-long Metro Gold Line rail project connecting Los Angeles to Pasadena. The $178 million design-build project required working in an extremely narrow corridor and involved building a pedestrian bridge, stations, at-grade crossings, seismic retrofits, and several cut-and-cover tunnels.

North-South Line - Trax II

Gilbert Western Corp. took a proactive approach to working with local businesses on this project to extend the North-South Light Rail. By partnering with the Utah Transit Authority, the project team was able to accelerate the schedule and reach substantial completion 10 months early, thereby mitigating impacts to the business community.

I-25 T-REX Project

The $1.28 billion T-REX Project is the largest transportation contract in Colorado history. Designed and built by a Kiewit-led joint venture, the project included improvements to I-25 and I-225 and construction of transit lines. Additional work involved reconstruction of interchanges and bridges, a new drainage system and improved pedestrian and bicycle access.

Caltrain Ponderosa

This $58 million project to reconstruct a 47-mi.-long rail line between San Francisco and San Jose was completed in May 2001. Crews worked 24-hour shifts between Friday evenings and Monday mornings to minimize disruptions to the 68 daily trains.

Amtrak Seattle Maintenance Facility

As a result of a Value Engineering initiative, Kiewit Construction Company was named Construction Manager and General Contractor for this $19.5 million project. Work on Amtrak's Pacific Northwest Maintenance Facility involved additional measures to keep some 67,000 Seattle Seahawks fans safe while they trekked across the project's location on their way to Seahawks Stadium.

Valley Metro Line Section 1

Line Section 1 is the first Light Rail Transit system in Arizona. Though delivered by the traditional hard-bid method, Kiewit Western Co., a subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, had a large hand in redesigning the project and resequencing tasks after encountering more than 600 unknown obstructions in approximately 14 months of work.
