PARK CITY, Utah (KUTV) — Construction began on a $24 million High Valley Transit campus project in Park City on Monday.
During the ceremony, Big-D Construction officially broke ground on the 8-acre transit maintenance and operation campus.
High Valley Transit will be able to improve and expand its already popular regional service across the Wasatch Back thanks to the new facility.
“High Valley Transit is proud to be partnering with Big-D on this exciting project. They have already proven their commitment to High Valley as we have navigated the requirements of FTA contracting. We look forward to the completion of a successful project that will serve the entire Wasatch Back region for decades to come,” said Kim Carson High Valley Transit, Board Chair.
The project will consist of administrative and operational offices, a four-bay maintenance shop with storage spaces, vehicle lifts, and an automatic wash bay, enclosed bus parking for 24 full-size transit buses, covered parking for smaller transit vehicles, a fuel dispensing station, and a facility generator. It will also be spread across approximately 61,277 square-feet.
The new High Valley Transit project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2024.
“Big-D Construction is both excited and proud to work with High Valley Transit, GSBS, and other partners on a project that will serve the residents of Summit County. Having an office in Park City, we understand the needs of enhanced transportation options to the residents. With 55 years of experience working on diverse projects in the beehive state, including transportation facilities across the Wasatch Front, we are confident in delivering this project and meeting the needs and expectations of our owners and partners,” said Executive Chairman Rob Moore, for Big-D Companies.
Since the organization began providing services to the Summit County community in 2021, it had been using a temporary structure.
