Pearlridge station
Pearlridge Station’s platform structure spans over the thirty (30) foot wide concourse bridge which connects to the at-grade station entrance structures located on either side of Kamehameha Highway. A Traction Power Substation (TPSS) and a separate ancillary building housing the train control and communications room are on the site. Other equipment rooms are located on the parcel containing the Makai entrance building. The station entrance structures are connected to the platforms by this elevated pedestrian concourse bridge which straddles Kamehameha Hwy several levels above the street. The site design includes site landscaping, construction of both TPSS station ancillary facilities, driveways, site drainage and utility service connected at an interface point coordinated with the guideway design-build contractor.
