DALLAS, March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was
selected by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) as the
Prime Designer for Penn Station Access, the largest expansion of
Metro-North's regional railroad system in its history. Jacobs will
design the expansion and support construction, which will be led by
the Halmar International/Railworks Joint Venture (JV).
Penn Station Access will provide direct Metro-North service
between the Bronx, Westchester and Connecticut to Penn Station on Manhattan's west side. The project includes
the design of four new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
accessible stations in the Bronx,
19 miles of new and rehabilitated track, four bridge
rehabilitations and the modernization of signal, power and
communication infrastructure. Jacobs will develop a digital model
that will allow for the visualization of the complex interfaces
between the different facets of the project, enhancing coordination
and constructability, as well as communication with the myriad of
stakeholders.
"This transformative program will create sustainable and
equitable transportation options to and from Manhattan for Bronx, Westchester and Connecticut residents and communities," said
Jacobs People & Places Solutions Senior Vice President
Gary Morris. "By collaborating with
MTA and Halmar International/Railworks JV, we'll be able to deliver
another mega-project for the State of New
York that also supports Jacobs' commitment to creating a
more connected, sustainable world."
Penn Station Access will use existing infrastructure along
Amtrak's Hellgate Line and improve regional connections at Penn
Station to the Long Island Railroad, New Jersey Transit and Amtrak.
This project will strengthen the regional rail system, bridge
communities and provide new commuting options for Bronx residents who are currently underserved
by public transportation.
The project is expected to be completed in 2027.
