Overview
- The first of four new Gate Link tram sets is now carrying passengers to Gates 100–129 with each set able to hold up to 240 people.
- The upgrade replaced running surfaces and added new vehicles, power distribution, vehicle controls, communications and platform screen doors on the completed track.
- Airport crews are using a phased approach that keeps one renovated track in service while they refurbish the second parallel track at Gates 100–129, then will relocate work to Gates 70–99.
- The Gate Link Replacement is a $253 million component of Orlando’s $6.9 billion Capital Improvement Program and marks the project’s first major service milestone.
- Passengers should see fewer interruptions and faster, safer connections because platform doors reduce track intrusions and the new systems aim to improve reliability while the multi-phase work continues.
