Washington Group International Inc.'s infrastructure services unit won the contract from the Metropolitan Transit Development Board of San Diego. The total installed cost of the project is estimated at $431million.
Michael Della Rocca, president and chief executive officer of Washington Infrastructure Services Inc. says ``the award recognizes our broad experience in the construction of all the elements involved here: lightrail systems, tunnels, bridges, and highways.''
The Mission Valley East Line is an extension of the existing Mission Valley West Light Rail transit line. The 5.9-mile, four-station extension will start at the Mission San Diego Station just east of Qualcomm Stadium and end at a junction with the existing Orange Line just east of Baltimore Drive in La Mesa.
The line will cross Interstate 8 with a 4,000-foot span, then tunnel to an underground station serving San Diego State University, crossing Interstate 8 again in La Mesa.
Construction is under way and will be completed in December 2004.
