The Federal Transit Administration has given the City and County of Honolulu the right to start producing the 30-foot-wide pieces needed to build the elevated guideway for the Honolulu Rail Project. Per a letter given by the FTA, the city is allowed to spend up to $21.8 million to build and equip a precast yard in Campbell Industrial Park. Executive Director for the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, Daniel Grabauskas, stated, “This is excellent news for Honolulu. It reflects the further confidence the FTA has in this project. With the work on the columns under way, this approval will clear the way for us to have the contractor begin work on constructing the guideway and helps ensure we keep the project on time and on budget.”
According to HART, the precast yard will employ approximately 70 workers and will operate 24 hours a day.
