About the VIA Rapid Green Line
Planned to open in 2027-2028 the VIA Rapid Green Line project will provide fast, reliable service. The new bus line will run north and south along San Pedro Avenue, from the San Antonio International Airport to downtown, and on to Brooks Transit Center. It will connect riders to key residential areas, job centers, schools and cultural landmarks. For more information on VIA’s Rapid Green Line, please visit the project’s homepage.

Corridor Segments to Streamline the Project
To complete the work quickly, the corridor has been divided into segments. Construction may happen in several segments at the same time, but it will follow a sequence to reduce traffic congestion between nearby areas.
Segment 1 – St. Mary’s Street, from Eagleland Drive to Roosevelt Park Drive.
Roosevelt Avenue, from Roosevelt Park Drive to Steves Avenue.
- Underground and Overhead Utility Relocations for New Stations and Intersections
- Underground and Overhead Utility Relocations for New Stations and Intersections
Information about segments 2 through 7 is anticipated in the fall of 2025.
Construction Overview
Underground and overhead utility relocations
New sidewalks and driveways near bus stations and intersections
New bus station foundations
Intersection improvements
Individuals and businesses along the San Pedro corridor can expect construction impacts between 2025 and 2027. The project involves new bus stations and improved infrastructure in key areas of the project corridor along San Pedro Avenue, between U.S. Highway 281 and Isom Road to Roosevelt Avenue and Steves Avenue.
Along the Green Line corridor, existing stations will be replaced with either new side-running or center-running stations. This project also includes the addition of new sidewalks, ramps, curbs, gutters, and drainage systems.
Preliminary Design Features
new signalized pedestrian crossings
intersections with upgrades and synchronized signals for improved traffic flow
new or replaced stormwater drains, along with other drainage improvements
miles of new and repaired sidewalks
Construction Timeline
SUMMER 2025 – Construction process will begin with utility adjustments, including moving utility poles and fire hydrants to support the construction process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will construction last?
The type of construction work and duration planned along the corridor will vary depending on the amount of infrastructure improvements planned along specific segments or intersections. However, our goal is to complete the work as efficiently as possible, and we will continue to share updates as they become available with the community. The Federal Transit Administration’s Revenue Service date for this project is April 2028.
Why will construction take so long?
In some locations, the work involves complex tasks such as moving utilities, upgrading infrastructure, and ensuring everything meets safety and quality standards. Our team is working hard to complete the project efficiently while minimizing disruption as much as possible.
When is construction happening in my neighborhood?
We will provide 90-day general construction updates and 30-day construction activity forecasts with specific planned work. The monthly and quarterly updates will be posted on the VIA Rapid Construction Web Page.
Are utilities being replaced or relocated?
Some of the existing utilities will be moved and/or replaced to accommodate improvements, improving future access, reducing service disruption and supporting long-term infrastructure reliability.
