Flatiron-Herzog joint venture awarded Construction Manager at Risk contract for VIA Metropolitan Transit's Green Line

VIA Metropolitan Transit has selected Flatiron and its joint venture partner Herzog for the construction portion of its $446.3 million North-South Corridor Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) project, commonly referred to as the Green Line.

Through the ART initiative, the 12-mile Green Line will provide a north-south sustainable mobility option through the heart of San Antonio, Texas, which is a major component of VIA’s Keep San Antonio Moving program. 

Collaborating with VIA Metropolitan Transit through a Construction Manager at Risk arrangement, the Flatiron-Herzog joint venture team will deliver important sustainable mobility improvements:

• 26 new enhanced bus stations—with improved access for people of all abilities
• Dedicated bus lanes, allowing for faster travel
• Bus pickups every 10-15 minutes along the corridor
• Improved connections to top locations, including San Antonio International Airport and the downtown area

“This transformational collaborative project will connect San Antonio’s vibrant communities while providing an efficient route through the heart of the city,” said Dale Nelson, Flatiron executive vice president for operations. “The Green Line will speed residents to major employment centers and enhance affordable access to medical facilities and other necessities of daily life.”
