The Walsh-Shea Corridor Constructors
The Walsh-Shea Corridor Constructors is comprised of Walsh, Shea, HNTB, Comstock and ARUP who have come together to provide the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) a combination of highly experienced local and national transit resources coupled with the talent and resources of the greater LA community. This team was assembled with the single-minded focus of achieving every goal and objective that Metro has set for this project. Understanding not only the goals of Metro but the importance these goals have on the project and the community will help the Walsh-Shea Corridor Constructors produce a safe project that is on-time, on-budget and creates the least amount of disruption with the highest benefit to the community.
