The Green Line is a 28.6-mile (46.0 km) light rail line in Dallas, USA, operated by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority (DART). The US$1.7 billion project opened in phases, starting in 2009. It operates in addition to the Blue and Red lines currently in service, and will be joined by the Orange line in 2012.

It began operation on September 14, 2009 with a route from downtown Dallas southeast to Fair Park; this short route was scheduled to open in time to service the 2009 State Fair of Texas. On December 6, 2010 the line extended further to Pleasant Grove, as well as continuing northwest from Victory Station to Farmers Branch and Carrollton; both extensions, completing the Green Line.[1]

The northern end of the line connects with the A-train line run by the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA).[2] This line connects Denton to Carrollton, with stops in Lewisville and Highland Village. The commuter train may stop in other Denton County cities, should they choose to join the DCTA.

Construction

  • On February 9, 2007, a trench collapsed during construction on the line killing one construction worker.[3]
  • On March 12, 2007, the City of Dallas officials and DART made an agreement to make Burbank Station (formerly Love Field Station) a surface-level facility after a long debate of whether or not to make it an underground station.[4]
  • Effective June 17, 2007, the Live Oak exit on US 75.svg (U.S. Route 75) was closed until 2009, as part of the Green Line Rail construction around the Bryan/Hawkins intersection. Two bridges in that area were removed and roads were lowered to street level.[5]
  • On June 8, 2009, full-speed tests of the Green Line were conducted successfully with local officials and members of the media aboard.[6] The route of the test included the four stations, then still under construction, that joined the DART light rail system in September 2009.
