The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has awarded a $48.6 million contract to Crowder Construction Co. to build track structures for the future Charlotte Gateway Station.

The work will include construction of the platform, structures and roadbed for track to the planned station. The project is slated to begin July 9 and wrap up by April 2022, NCDOT officials said in a press release.

The station will serve as a hub for Amtrak service, Charlotte Area Transit System and intercity bus services, taxis and ride-sharing companies.

Charlotte city crews will construct the station building under a separate contract to be issued later this year or in early 2019.
