Broadmoor station is a planned CapMetro Rail hybrid rail infill station in Austin, Texas. The station is being built to improve access to The Domain, a major high-density business, retail, and residential center.[1] Construction was expected to begin in September 2020 with service starting in 2022, but was delayed until the station's groundbreaking on January 18, 2022, thereby pushing the opening date back to 2024.[2][3] The project further stalled, with construction still not begun by March 2023.[4] Upon opening of the new station as well as the new McKalla station at Austin FC's Q2 Stadium, the nearby Kramer station is expected to close.[1][2] Brandywine Realty and the Charles Schwab Corporation contributed funds for the station's construction.[1]
