After three months of construction, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority completed its Cemeteries Transit Center this past December.

While Construction is on track, NORTA will conduct safety testing and operator training during the month of December.

Earlier this past November, NORTA released an aerial update of the Cemeteries Transit Center, showcasing its extended streetcar tracks, pedestrian walkways, new signal lights.

Construction for NORTA’s transit hub started at the end of July, effectively closing the City Park Avenue intersection between Canal Boulevard and Canal Street.
