The Obama administration has agreed to provide $116 million for the under-construction TRAX extension from Sandy to Draper. With the full funding agreement, the federal government will pay 60 percent of the estimated $194 million cost of the 3.8 mile extension of the TRAX blue line. It will add three stations at 11400 South, 11800 South and Pioneer Road (about 12400 South). Construction is already about 50 percent complete. Tracks are laid, but stations and overhead power lines are still under construction. All construction is expected to be completed in May, to be followed by six months of testing and certification before the extension opens. Salt Lake Tribune
