Project Description:
The project involved the installation of 5.4 miles of ballasted track adjacent to the existing single track. The project was undertaken to allow MTA to provide a higher frequency of trains and allow for scheduled maintenance with minimal disruptions on service.

The project was completed in November 2005, which was 9 months ahead of schedule. The team effort between MTA, PRW Consultants and Cherry Hill was essential to the ahead of schedule completion and the project being under budget.
