D2 Subway

D2 Subway is a proposed 2.4 mi (3.9 km) expansion of the DART Light Rail system in metropolitan Dallas, Texas, in the United States. The subway would run from the existing Victory station, tunneling underground through the city centre of downtown Dallas, and connect to the existing tunnel under Cityplace. Four new stations would be built along the new alignment.

The Green Line and Orange Line would have routed through the D2 Subway alignment, thereby alleviating pressure along DART's Pacific Avenue and Bryan Avenue corridor, which all four lines currently share, and promoting system-wide growth in total capacity.

The project was estimated to cost between $1.7 and $1.9 billion. In 2023, DART removed the D2 Subway from its long-term financial plan, effectively indefinitely delaying the project.
