Fifth Avenue (between Market Street and Liberty Avenue)
Market Square Station
August 16, 2024
On May 28, PRT’s contractor re-established the work zone on Fifth Avenue between Liberty Avenue and Market Street adjacent to Triangle Park to build Market Square BRT/PRTX Station.
Last winter, PRT’s contractor installed new water and drainage infrastructure.
Current construction activities include replacing the roadway, curb and sidewalk. In addition, electrical crews are placing foundations and running conduit that will supply power to the new bus shelters and new traffic signals.
When construction is complete, this station will have a new 60-foot bus shelter with an ADA compliant loading zone, new roadway, new expanded sidewalk, new granite curb and accessible ramps.
Station amenities will include a ticket vending machine, emergency phone, security camera(s), seating, lighting and new wayfinding signage.
Traffic on Fifth Avenue between Market Street and Liberty Avenue is reduced to one inbound travel lane. The sidewalk remains open opposite work site.
Construction fencing is expected to remain in place 24/7 until late fall.
