Week of May 4, 2015 | KC Downtown Streetcar Construction Update
Celebrate Safety Week with the KC Streetcar Constructors!
The KC Streetcar Constructors team is serious about safety. All this week, we are highlighting safety with special safety talks each morning. Topics include fall protection, electrical safeguards, and DIGG Locates and Laws. #SafetyWeek
Track work is underway in the Central Business District. Track crews are working on the southbound tracks between 7th and 12th Streets on the westside of Main Street. Work is anticipated to take three weeks to complete. Prep for the northbound tracks between 7th and 12th Streets has started as well.
In addition to track work, crews will also be working on electrical components including installing traffic signal conduit, WiFi and drilling OCS pole foundations in this segment. Traffic will be congested in this area during work. Please check the construction map on www.kcstreetcar.org and our twitter feed (@kcstreetcar) daily for road closures updates.
For more detailed information about streetcar construction, including projected work duration or a "look ahead", please visit the KC Streetcar website. For the most up-to-date info follow the project on twitter @kcstreetcar.
