Clark Gets Cracking on $93M Blue Line Construction

LARGO, MD-Work to extend the Blue Line of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to the Largo Town Center has edged even closer to completion as Clark-Kiewit Largo gets going on the $92.8-million design-build portion of the rail project. Clark-Kiewit Largo–a partnership involving Bethesda, MD’s The Clark Construction Group Inc. and Kiewit Construction of Omaha–will build the station facilities at the Morgan Blvd. Stop and the Largo Town Center stop.

The Largo station–whose terminal will be in close proximity to the USAirways Arena and the in-progress mixed-use Largo Town Center development–will mark the final destination on the Blue Line. Structures at both the Morgan and Largo locales will include kiss-and-ride areas, bus bays, and 30-ft. platforms. The Morgan station will also feature surface parking capable of accommodating nearly 600 vehicles. At Largo, there will be a 2,100-car parking structure for park-and-ride users of the Metro. A joint venture known as HSMM/STV, is the group behind the facilities’ architectural design.
