AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that an AECOM-led team has been selected by
Amtrak to support the development of the Susquehanna River Rail
Bridge Project (SRB). The project aims to improve rail connectivity
and safety along the U.S. Northeast Corridor by replacing the
existing 117-year-old two-track bridge located in Maryland with two
new bridges that will increase capacity and improve reliability of
both freight and passenger trains.
“The complexity of the Susquehanna River Rail Bridge Project
requires a team that connects global expertise with local
perspective and brings together the right disciplines and
resources,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. East
and Latin America region. “We’re honored to continue our
long-standing partnership with Amtrak to support them in delivering
high-quality, on-time, state of-the-art infrastructure that will
transform transportation for the region.”
In this role, AECOM will provide a range of professional
services, including project management, design coordination,
stakeholder coordination, and schedule management. The Company will
lead a strong technical team of subconsultants, including
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms (DBEs). By partnering with
DBE firms, AECOM aims to create opportunities for individuals
facing social and economic disadvantages to actively participate
and benefit from the economic growth generated by this project.
“With our vast expertise in creating advanced transportation
systems worldwide, we are committed to utilizing cutting-edge
technology to ensure safe and dependable transportation with faster
passenger travel times,” said Mark Southwell, chief executive of
AECOM’s global Transportation business. “Improving rail options
across the U.S. is crucial for the nation’s advancement, and the
new Susquehanna River Bridge will do just that by reducing trip
times and improving reliability for passenger and freight trains
that rely on this critical connection.”
