The city of Charlotte (North Carolina) will have to allocate a supplement of $1 million for the expansion of light rail line platforms. The project will allow the use of three-car Lynx trains instead of two-car trains, which are often crowded.
The construction works for this project were supposed to finish in September but additional work, problems with the contractors and insufficient resources delayed the schedule and increased the cost by $950,000.
The city of Charlotte still intends to have the platform works finalized before the opening of a $1 billion light rail line extension to UNC-Charlotte by the summer of 2017.
