What's Happening Now?
This project has been delayed until PBOT receives our agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad to move forward with construction. We're aiming for a spring 2025 construction start, but we are not in control of the timing of the railroad agreement, and the document is a requirement for projects receiving federal funds. We will continue to provide updates as the situation progresses.
