History
In the late 1990s, the first master plan for TRAX included plans for a station at 600 South.[4] When the rails were first laid, planners left enough room for the eventual station. Construction began in August 2021 with plans to be completed in early 2022.[5]
The 600 South station is the first TRAX station built since the extensions of the Blue and Green lines in 2013.[5]
In UTA’s plan to reroute the Red Line east from Ballpark to serve the Granary District, there exists a proposed station also with the name ‘600 South.’ However, the proposed station would be located on 400 West, while the current 600 South is on Main Street.
