NEW
YORK, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mace
Group, as part of joint venture Mace-Parsons-Arcadis (MPA Delivery
Partners), announced today that the team has been selected by the
Gateway Development Commission (GDC) as the delivery partner for
the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project
(HTP). Together, the firms will coordinate among all stakeholders,
contractors, and consultants to ensure that the project satisfies
all GDC's requirements.
The busiest rail connection between New York, New
Jersey, and the Northeast Corridor, the Hudson Tunnel
Project will improve capacity, reliability, and resiliency of
commuter and intercity rail transit serving 800,000 daily
passengers from Washington, D.C.
to New York and New England. A
milestone project supported by the bipartisan Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The project is slated to receive
nearly $12 billion in federal
funding, the largest investment in a mass transit project in modern
history.
"HTP is a critical, once-in-a-generation project that will
embody the excellence of our nation's future infrastructure," said
Mark Fialkowski, president, North
America Infrastructure for Parsons. "We look forward to partnering
with the Gateway Development Commission on unlocking the full
economic and societal potential of the Hudson Tunnel Project. As
Parsons has done for 80 years, we're ready to continue imagining
and delivering the future of transportation in New York and New
Jersey."
Mace Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Jason Millett said, "We are honored to have been
appointed by the GDC to play such a key a role on this historic
program. We're inspired by their vision to revolutionize the rail
transit experience for passengers on the Northeast Corridor,
creating opportunities that will positively transform people's
lives. From our experience bringing complex megaprojects to life
around the world, we know the delivery partner model will provide
the collaborative approach and certainty required for a program of
this scale."
“The Gateway Hudson Tunnel will be a model of resilient
infrastructure to futureproof safe and sustainable travel along the
nation’s most economically vital corridor. Arcadis is proud to
bring our extensive tunneling, rail, and transit expertise to
support the Gateway Development Commission to facilitate the urgent
delivery of this megaproject that will improve quality of life for
communities that live and work in New
York, New Jersey, and
beyond,” said Greg Steele, Global
President of Mobility at Arcadis.
The project includes construction of a two-tube, 2.4-mile-long
tunnel, as well as repairing Amtrak's existing North River Tunnel,
which opened in 1910 and was damaged during Hurricane Sandy in
2012.
