Written By Bryan Leavoy

The MARTA board of directors unanimously voted July 13 to approve an $11.5 million contract for final design of the Atlanta Streetcar extension from Downtown to the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail and up to Ponce City Market.

HDR Inc., a global engineering and architecture firm based in Nebraska, was awarded the contract after receiving committee backing in June.

The board’s vote puts the estimated $230 million project on track to start construction in 2025 with service expected to begin in 2028.
