Foothill Gold Line Project Runs Ahead of Schedule

The Foothill Gold Line Extension project is off to a solid start. The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority has already completed the $2.6 million utility relocation project, finishing a head of schedule and under budget. This is the first of three contracts to be completed over the life of the project, which will ultimately add six stations to the Foothill Gold Line from Glendora to Montclair with new Metro Gold Line stations in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair.

W.A. Rasic Construction Co. managed the utility-relocation, relocating and protecting sewer and water lines through the railway corridor. “W.A. Rasic Construction Co. did an exceptional job managing the project and getting the work done within their contract period,” Albert Ho of the Foothill Gold Line project and the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, tells GlobeSt.com. CEO Habib F. Balian adds, “W.A. Rasic Construction completed the Utility Relocation contract, which resulted in the relocation and/or protection over the past 11 months of a dozen strategically-located water and sewer lines that cross the railroad corridor. These lines were identified for this early work to reduce risk for the main, Alignment design-build contractor; and I am pleased to report that Rasic completed their work two months ahead of schedule and on budget.”
