The extension would add 5.6 km of track with three new stations at Witchduck Road, Kellam Road and Constitution Drive where a new park and ride would be built. A new eastbound platform would be constructed at Newtown Road.
The projected costs also include three new light rail vehicles, a bus transfer facility at Constitution Drive where local buses will support rail service, three bridges, 9 at-grade crossings, six signalized intersections, and major utility relocations.
