Skanska Rehabilitates Rail Transit Infrastructure in NE Region

Skanska has signed a contract with Amtrak to rehabilitate and restore maintenance facilities for the Next Generation Acela 21 high-speed rail service in Washington, D.C.; Boston, Massachusetts and New York. The contract is worth about $40 million.

The three maintenance facilities were initially built by the general contractor 20 years ago. The rehabilitation will include structural modifications and industrial equipment upgrades to accommodate the new trains being placed into service in 2021.

Construction began in February 2020 and is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2021.
