Skanska Completes $365M Transport Replacement for MTA 

Skanska has completed the $365 million replacement of the Croton-Harmon Shop in Westchester County, marking the final phase of the Replacement Program of the Croton-Harmon Shops and Yard complex initiated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Metro-North Railroad. 

The completion of Harmon Yard Phase V – Stage II, a joint venture with ECCO III Enterprises, included site work, utilities, track enhancements, and the demolition of Buildings 5 and 6 at the complex. Skanska also oversaw the construction of a new six-track, double-ended electric multiple unit (EMU) Running Repair and Support Shop. The 240,000-square-foot facility features 10 married-pair vehicle repair positions on the ground floor and component repair workshops and office spaces on a partial second floor. 

“This project has transformed the historic 100-year-old facility into a modern-day transportation hub that will greatly improve the maintenance operations across the MTA’s rail and locomotive fleet, while simultaneously enhancing the commuter experience for the thousands of passengers utilizing Metro-North services daily,” said Keith Chouinard, senior vice president and general manager for Skanska USA Civil.
