MBTA Taps Skanska for $1B North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement
Skanska said Wednesday it has been awarded a contract by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to deliver the $1.06-billion North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement and Associated Track & Signal Upgrades project across Cambridge, Boston and Somerville, MA. The project will modernize a critical rail corridor serving more than 11 million riders a year and strengthen connectivity across the Greater Boston region. Locally based VHB is the design partner for the design-build contract.
“We are proud to partner with the MBTA on this transformative infrastructure investment that will enhance reliability, and support the region’s growing transit needs,” said Paul Pedini, SVP of Skanska USA Civil.
The scope of the project includes replacing the existing 1930-era Draw One bascule bridges with new vertical lift spans. It also involves extensive upgrades to approach trestles, the construction of a new Tower A control facility and the addition of a new Platform F at North Station.
Work is scheduled to commence this month, with completion expected in fall 2032.
