The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has awarded contracts to advance a rail maintenance project on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), as well as a project that will provide direct Metro-North service from the Bronx.
The larger of the two projects – the Penn Station Access Project – will provide Metro-North Railroad service to the East Bronx, which currently lacks rail service, as well as Westchester and Connecticut to New York Penn Station and Manhattan’s west side.
The design-build contract for the $2.87 billion project will be awarded to Halmar International, LLC/RailWorks, J.V.
