The consortium comprises ACS Infrastructure Development, ACS’s Dragados USA, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions, Hochtief’s Flatiron, Fluor <FLR.N>, Balfour Beatty <BALF.L> and Bombardier <BBDb.TO>.

ACS Infrastructure Development and HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions each have an 18 percent stake in the consortium.

The project includes the delivery of 44 Bombardier trains. Construction is expected to be completed by early 2023, Hochtief said.
