The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) has begun construction on the $355 million Redlands Passenger Rail Project, an effort to construct a 9-mile regional route that will operate between San Bernardino and Redlands, California. 

To mark the milestone, SBCTA will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on July 19 in Redlands. 

SBCTA awarded a $21 million contract to Granite Construction Inc. to build a storage and maintenance facility for the line in San Bernardino. Granite’s work will include building construction, underground utilities, demolition, earthwork, grading and concrete and asphalt paving, Granite officials said in a press release.

Construction is slated to be completed in 2020, with rail service expected to begin in late 2021, according to the project website.
