Gold Line construction generally occurs between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. You may notice early morning arrival of construction crew members and vehicles for site preparation. In addition, there are times when construction work does need to occur outside of these working hours. The project team does our best to notify area residents of these activities in advance, however, needs do come up in the field that require on the spot responsiveness and our construction crew needs flexibility to ensure the work gets completed.
We appreciate the community’s understanding as we continue to advance this work with the goal of bringing transit access and infrastructure improvements to the east metro.
