LOS ANGELES, Jan 05, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for government
and commercial clients around the world, announced today that a joint
venture which it leads has been awarded a US$18-million contract by the
New Jersey Transit Board of Directors for the Portal Bridge Capacity
Enhancement project. The authorization covers the construction
management consultant services for early action elements of a planned
7.5-year assignment, valued at approximately US$94 million overall.
The AECOM-STV joint venture will provide construction management
services for the estimated US$1.7-billion project that will replace the
two-track, 99-year-old Portal Bridge swing span over the Hackensack
River on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Two new two-track and three-track
fixed bridges will replace the existing structure, on the busiest
section of passenger rail mainline in North America.
"This important infrastructure project allows more capacity and service
reliability for the growing number of rail travelers between New Jersey
and New York City," said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief
executive officer. "We are excited by the opportunity to support New
Jersey Transit's efforts to enhance this vital transportation link."
Early construction is expected to begin during late spring 2010. The
replacement bridges are slated for completion in 2017.
