“Given Bechtel’s 122-year history in northern California, it’s a privilege to continue being part of the region’s rail development.”

The BART extension project studies commenced more than 30 years ago and the VTA implemented the programme in 2002.

Bechtel-Mott McDonald integrated with VTA in 2004. The team has been associated with the project since its conceptualisation to revenue service.

VTA deputy project director Krishna Davey said: “The integrated approach we used to complete this job allowed us to combine both VTA and Bechtel’s strengths and execution experience.

“Our team, and the strong public and political support to bring BART to San Jose, has enabled us to get to this point of servicing our community.”

In August last year, the US Department of Transportation has allocated $125m for the BART Silicon Valley Phase II project to the Santa Clara VTA.
