(WXYZ) — The trams are now back in service at Detroit Metropolitan Airport's McNamara Terminal.
The trams were previously out of service after an extensive improvement project. The hardware, software and equipment in each tram was refurbished or replaced in order to improve reliability, safety and efficiency.
“We are excited to announce that both trams are fully operational,” said Wayne County Airport Authority CEO Chad Newton in a release. “We want to thank our customers for their patience over the last several months. Our trams have not required many updates since the McNamara Terminal opened in 2002. We expect that after the most recent upgrades, our trams will not need another complete overhaul for 15 years or more.”
The improvement project began in September 2018. Total cost was $13 million.
