Light Rail Line Construction in Red Hook


 

We have been hard at work constructing the first part of our
new light rail line in the Red Hook section of
Brooklyn.  Phase I of the project was
constructed on private land along the Red Hook
Waterfront (this phase has been completed).
Phase II of the project extends the streetcar
trackage from along the waterfront onto public New
York City streets.  Phase II is the first on
street rail construction in NYC in over 70 years. 

Below are pictures of the projects progress.
