Construction of the east and westbound vivastation platforms at Parkside/Longford and Davis Drive will start in early July. This will be an important moment in starting to see the transformation of Davis become a reality! Below are more details on the construction of the first vivastation on Davis Drive.
There are a number of steps involved in building a vivastation. Each platform requires about 12 weeks of work including: excavating for the platforms, installing electrical cables and performing concrete work. Once the platforms are constructed, the steel structure and canopies are installed. For Longford Station, steel and glass should arrive later this fall.
Constructing a vivastation is a lot of work and has many components. We’ve written a blog that includes a short primer on how it’s done. It’s taken years of design, planning and preparation to get to the point of station construction and we’re excited to share it with you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
