D2 Projects: AeroTrain Maintenance Facility

AeroTrainLogo  Maintenance Facility

The AeroTrain will have 29 vehicles in its initial fleet.  A building located near the south end of the Airport will provide a place for the vehicles to be serviced or parked.  It connects to the AeroTrain route via a branch from the main tunnel.

The facility is complete and awaiting the delivery of the new vehicles, which are being manufactured in Japan.  They are due to arrive here as early as 2007.  Vehicle testing can begin after guideways and other elements are in place throughout the tunnels and stations.  After the AeroTrain opens to the public, the Maintenance Facility will continue to play a vital "behind the scenes" role in keeping the trains running smoothly.

Statistics about the AeroTrain Maintenance Facility:

  • Date Completed: 2006
  • Estimated Program Cost: $41.5 million

Construction Information:

  • Contractors: HNTB Corporation - Design.  Turner Construction Co. - Construction
