..at the Escher-Wyss-Platz. I’m glad this new tramway for the booming Zurich-West district is finally being built. I’d wish it took less time though – the total construction time will be 3 years! For a new tramway of roughly 3 km length this equals to less than 3 m of new tracks per day at a cost of about 300′000 CHF (270′000 USD) per day (or 100k CHF per meter).
