KWAME BUILDING GROUP TO OVERSEE $43M LOOP TROLLEY PROJECT IN MISSOURI

ST. LOUIS — The Loop Trolley Transportation Development District (TDD) has selected Kwame Building Group to provide construction management services for the $43 million Loop Trolley project in St. Louis and University City, Mo. The trolley project includes installation of the tracks and overhead electric lines, construction of 10 station stops, and a roundabout with landscape elements at the western terminus. The 2.2-mile electric trolley system will operate three cars — a restored historic trolley car and two vintage replica cars. The Loop Trolley TDD recently received Federal Transit Administration approval for a $25 million grant through the Urban Circulator Systems program for the project. Kwame Building Group will begin issuing construction bid packages in late April and May.
