Construction is nearing completion on the new Butler Transit Authority park and ride lot and building addition.
The Authority’s board approved a change order of over $28,000 at their Tuesday night meeting to cover the cost of the removal of a large building foundation in front of where the rail car is parked.
Work at the Hollywood Drive building includes new bus shelters and waiting area along with a 47 space park and ride area for commuter service. Construction on the project remains on or ahead of schedule with the Park and Ride set to open for use by commuters to and from Pittsburgh beginning January 2nd. Work on the waiting area will continue into the new year.
A total of about $3 million is being spent on this project with 80% of funding coming from the federal government and the other 20% from state and local sources.
