**As of November 17, 2020, the anticipated construction start date and completion date are not yet determined at this time. https://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/news/2020/11/24/the-birmingham-xpress-project.html 10 hours ago Construction on a new bus system in the city of Birmingham is due to begin in December. The design phase for the $40 million Bus Rapid Transit project began in 2017, and construction was originally expected to be underway in August 2019. The BRT, to be called Birmingham Xpress, will connect 25 neighborhoods and travel from Woodlawn Transit Center on First Avenue North between 56th and 57th streets to the Crossplex Transit Center at the intersection of Avenue W and 47th Street Ensley. Charlotte Shaw, deputy director of the Office of Capital Projects Management at the city of Birmingham, said construction is now expected to start at West Transit Station in early December with stops and roadway work expected to be complete by the end of 2021. The project is currently in the final design phase. Shaw said the final construction phase will be completed at the East Transit Station by the end of April 2022. The full project is projected to be completed by May 2022. The system will operate in conjunction with MAX Transit. The new system will include 15 low-floor compressed natural gas buses equipped with wheelchair parking areas, bicycle racks and seating and standing room for 40 to 60 people. The project also calls for bus stations with raised passenger boarding platforms for faster access and new technology, including transit signal priority, which allows buses to change traffic lights to green, among other things, to improve travel times. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Plans call for the construction of a bus rapid transit system which will construct a 10 mile running from East to West.
