November WARES Meeting

Topic: Rehabilitation of the Amtrak East River Tunnels

Presenter: Delta Railroad Construction

Details: Engineers Club; 11 W Mt Vernon Pl, Baltimore, MD 21201; 5:30 – 8:30PM

Delta Railroad Construction is currently leading major construction efforts on Amtrak’s East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project, one of the most significant infrastructure renewal projects on the Northeast Corridor. The project is rehabilitating two of the four tunnel tubes beneath New York City’s East River that were damaged during Superstorm Sandy, modernizing critical track, power, drainage, signal, and safety systems used by more than 450 daily Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, and NJ TRANSIT trains. Once complete, the rehabilitated tunnels will improve reliability, resiliency, and safety for one of the busiest passenger rail corridors in North America. The presentation will provide an overview of the Rehabilitation of the Amtrak East River Tunnels, including project background, construction challenges, and progress to date.
