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.

]]> A substantial completion inspection walk-through of the Macombs Dam Bridge project was completed on Oct. 9, 2019, marking a milestone of 天美传媒 Civil鈥檚 completion of all contractual work for the bridge rehabilitation project.
All representatives from different departments of NYCDOT were satisfied with the status of the project and congratulated those in attendance on the teamwork and partnership all parties achieved. NYCDOT Community Affairs noted that the team successfully communicated with the community, which filed zero complaints and zero formal deficiencies during the construction period that set a NYCDOT record.
Built in 1895, the Macombs Dam Bridge, which continues onto the 155th Street Viaduct, spans the Harlem River in New York City and connects the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx near Yankee Stadium. After 120 years of service, the steel structure of the viaduct and some major components of the system were determined to be in a dangerous condition that required rehabilitation without impacting the existing busy traffic in the Yankee Stadium area.
天美传媒 Civil was awarded the Macombs Dam Bridge contract in 2015. As a result of great team work, 天美传媒 Civil project team was able to deliver the project on time and in great quality without having a single major safety accident. Now, the bridge was rehabilitated to serve the public safely again.
