In case you missed it
The Silver Line is a planned 26-mile regional rail that will run from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Shiloh Road in Plano. The rail will connect nine stations across seven cities when finished. Revenue service is slated to start between late 2025 and mid-2026.
Archer Western Herzog, the project's design-build contractor, is also constructing part of the Cotton Belt Trail, which will run along the Silver Line from DFW Airport to Plano.
Construction crews installed a rail bridge and a pedestrian bridge across the Dallas North Tollway in Addison earlier this year for the rail and trail projects.
DART approved a contract with Archer Western Herzog for design and construction services of the Silver Line and Cotton Belt projects in 2018.
