DART Hosts Bi-Annual Silver Line Meeting

DART hosted its bi-annual Silver Line Meeting on Thursday, January 18 at the Addison Conference Centre. Representatives from the design-build contractor Archer Western Herzog (AWH) joined the DART team to share updates about construction, trains, and more.

Four of the eight trains DART has ordered for the Silver Line have already been delivered and the remaining four will arrive in early February. These self-propulsion vehicles will be housed in Plano near Shiloh Road. DART will begin testing vehicles on the line in Addison in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In Addison, the Midway Bridge is 100% complete, as are the Addison Road, Quorum Drive, and Spectrum crossings. The Addison station is 85% complete. Platform and canopy work is currently underway. Canopy lighting has been installed and is being tested.

AWH also shared that DART and the City of Dallas have agreed to close a portion of Hillcrest Road – between Frankford Road and Wester Way – for 52 weeks beginning Thursday, January 25. Detours will send drivers to Preston and Coit roads, with limited access through neighborhood streets. This 1/5-mile section will remain closed until Friday, January 24, 2025.
