Arizona The Valley Metro Regional Public Transit Authority is planning to build the South Central Light Rail Extension in Phoenix. The project will extend light rail service 5.5 miles south from the existing Valley Metro light-rail line in downtown Phoenix to Baseline Road. The route would connect with the existing line at Washington and Jefferson Streets using a one-way couplet, with southbound operations on First Avenue and northbound operations on Central Avenue, before converging at Hadley Street to operate within the Central Avenue median in both directions to its terminus. AECOM is the designer, and Kiewit Infrastructure West is the construction manager. Construction is expected to start in late 20189 and be completed in 2023. The project is valued at $900 million.
