Norfolk light rail nearly 1/3 finished, under budget

NORFOLK – Light rail is about 30 percent complete and running $800,000 under budget, according to Hampton Roads Transit.
HRT officials briefed Norfolk City Council Tuesday on the progress of the $288-million starter line.
The first stop is moving slightly east on Brambleton Avenue and that shift of the EVMS stop is expected to save $800,000.
Light rail is still on track to begin service in 2010, HRT stated.
The 7.4 mile route will have 11 stops on the run from EVMS to Newtown Road.
