NY/NJ port awards US$52.4 million to Union Paving for upgrade work
UNION Paving and Construction Co. in New Jersey has won a US$52.4 million contract from the port authority of New York and New Jersey for rail infrastructure improvements at the Greenville yard to support the port of Jersey's ExpressRail facility, which will have an annual capacity of 430,000 TEU, and is being built by the container terminal GCT USA.
The contract also includes work on the port authority's New York/New Jersey rail carfloat operation at the yard. The carfloat transports rail cars via a floating barge between the Greenville Yard and the 65th Street Terminal in Brooklyn, reported American Shipper.
The work provides for the expansion of Greenville Yard, the construction of lead tracks, receiving and departure tracks, support tracks and associated turnouts and crossovers, yard lighting, fencing, paving, storm drains and power, water and sanitary sewer services.
The port of Jersey's ExpressRail facility will connect the GCT Bayonne terminal to CSX and Norfolk Southern's railroads and is scheduled for completion in mid-2018.
