Streetcar Construction Update 
The first streetcar has arrived and is undergoing testing along the route. Click here for a full list of projected testing times and activities. During this week, the traveling public may see Sun Link streetcar 101 on the rails for daytime and nighttime testing. Typically the streetcar occupies the same travel lane as vehicles, except for specific 'switch' locations. During testing, please be aware that police officers may be present, streetcar personnel may be walking with the streetcar to monitor tests, motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists are moving in a new transit environment, and new directional signs and pavement markings are in place. During the week of October 7 through October 11, 2013, eastbound Toole Avenue, between 5th Avenue and Congress Street, will be closed. Traffic will be detoured to southbound 5th Avenue. Access to businesses and parking will be maintained. The contractor will continue with utility adjustments through October 11, 2013, along Broadway, Congress Street and Granada Avenue. Motorists should prepare for lane restrictions in the area of work. At least one travel lane will be maintained at all times.
The contractor is continuing with adjustments of the overhead contact wire in the downtown area. Motorists should expect temporary lane restrictions in the area. Officers will be on site to direct traffic during this work.
The contractor will continue installing sidewalks, curbs and access ramps in the downtown area. Traffic may be shifted to accommodate work in the area. Temporary turn restrictions at intersections may be in place during these activities. This information is provided by the Tucson Modern Streetcar weekly newsletter, also found online at TucsonStreetcar.com. Schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions and/or equipment failure.
