The construction value of the project is US$262m (£165m). The project is Skanska’s third contract for the construction of Phase I of the Second Avenue Subway project.
Skanska and joint venture partner LK Comstock & Co will construct the track and systems for Phase I of the Second Avenue Subway. The project includes the installation of track, train signals, communications systems and traction power between 105th Street and the existing subway station at 63rd Street. Additional project work includes modification of existing facilities and systems to ensure connectivity with the Second Avenue Subway system. The joint venture will also construct three rail cross-overs along this route, which will allow trains to switch tracks in case of emergency.
Work will start this month with anticipated completion in autumn 2016.
