A split in the site creates a new pedestrian plaza between the proposed buildings.

The original master plan consisted of 2.8 million gross square feet of development and includes over 1,500 residential condominium units, 45,000 square feet of ground-level retail and 1,600 parking spaces.

Block One is Live on LIRR Expansion Project /news/block-one-is-live-on-lirr-expansion-project/ /news/block-one-is-live-on-lirr-expansion-project/#respond Tue, 16 Aug 2022 15:24:56 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=2431 Continue reading "Block One is Live on LIRR Expansion Project"]]> The third track allows the LIRR to run more trains and recover from delays during the rush hour commute.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) officials for a ceremonial first ride and press conference marking the opening of the first section of LIRR Expansion Project.
鈥淭he opening of the Third Track marks a huge milestone for commuters and visitors that is decades in the making,鈥� Hochul said at the Monday press conference. 鈥淭hanks to this extraordinary project, LIRR trains will run more often, and passengers will have a smoother ride than ever.鈥�

MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said this Third Track project is different from other mega projects in the past. It鈥檚 more than $100 million under budget and ahead of schedule, for which he gave thanks to MTA Construction & Development and the LIRR team as well as design-build team 3rd Track Constructors, a joint venture between John Picone, Dragados, 天美传媒 Civil and Halmar International.

MTA Construction & Development President Jamie Torres-Springer added, 鈥淐ommissioning the first block of the LIRR Third Track is a major milestone as we deliver this transformative project on time and under budget for Long Islanders. This project is our model going forward as we deliver great benefits for our customers better, faster and cheaper.鈥�

The three-mile section of the 9.8-mile expansion project is just the beginning, and there are two more blocks to be commissioned and cut over within the next two months. Once achieved, it will have the potential to boost train capacity by 50 percent for Long Islanders, according to MTA officials.


Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA Chair & CEO Janno Lieber, and SMART General Chairman Anthony Simon were joined by other officials on a ceremonial train ride from Jamaica to New Hyde Park to inaugurate the first completed section of LIRR Third Track between Floral Park and Merillon Avenue on Monday, Aug 15, 2022.

Rehabilitation of I-278 Bridges Achieves Final Completion /news/rehabilitation-of-i-278-bridges-achieves-final-completion/ /news/rehabilitation-of-i-278-bridges-achieves-final-completion/#respond Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:14:50 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=2411 Continue reading "Rehabilitation of I-278 Bridges Achieves Final Completion"]]> For the past two months, the project team, craft labor and the subcontractors have been working diligently to perform all punch list items and improvement work that the owner added via change orders. In addition, all seasonal landscaping, which is part of the final beautification program and can only take place between Sept. 15 and Nov.15, was completed on time.

天美传媒 Civil rose to the challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic pushing through to successful completion. Filled with pride of ownership, the project team worked safely and collaboratively with all stakeholders with the utmost professionalism to deliver a final quality product that will serve the public for many decades.

]]> The Wittpenn Bridge鈥檚 main lift span is a steel orthotropic bridge deck measuring 325 feet long and 110 feet wide 鈥� almost as large as a football field. It consists of three sections that weigh approximately 700 tons each. Given the colossal weight and scale of the steel deck, the project team utilized the Donjon Chesapeake 1000 crane (Chessy), the largest heavy lift crane on the east coast with 1,000 tons in lifting capacity and 231 feet in boom length, to perform the erection work. Intensive pre-planning and coordination with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, subcontractors, vendors and work crews ensured a safe and precise operation.

Located in Jersey City and Kearny in Hudson County, the Wittpenn Bridge serves as a major connector between Routes 139 and 1 and 9T to the east, and the New Jersey Turnpike Interchange 15W and Newark/Jersey City Turnpike to the west. 天美传媒 Civil鈥檚 job is to replace the 90-year-old bridge with a new one south of the existing bridge. In the closed position, the Wittpenn Bridge鈥檚 newly constructed vertical lift span will provide a minimum vertical clearance of 70-foot above water versus the existing bridge鈥檚 35-foot clearance over the Hackensack River, minimizing the need to lift the bridge and improving vehicular and marine traffic flows.

]]> The underpass at New Hyde Park Road replaces an at-grade crossing that previously stood at the busy intersection, which was originally scheduled to reopen around Labor Day but was completed early. The LIRR 3rd Track Constructors (3TC) project team scheduled a 48-hour double track outage in July that led to the successful installation of the New Hyde Park Bridge.

3TC, a partnership between 天美传媒 Civil, Dragados USA, John P. Picone and Halmar International Construction, won the LIRR Expansion project in December 2017. The New Hyde Park Road crossing is one of eight to be eliminated as part of the Third Track project, which aims to build a 10-mile third track on the LIRR鈥檚 Main Line between Floral Park and Hicksville.
