GlobeSt.com UPDATE: PA Awards $300M PATH Contract

NEW YORK CITY-First announced in mid-December, the bi-state agency plan to restore Downtown PATH service is proceeding at an accelerated pace with work scheduled to begin in three weeks.

NEW YORK CITY-New York Governor George E. Pataki and New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey last week put into action a plan unveiled late last year for the construction of a new PATH station at the World Trade Center Site.

In December, GlobeSt.com reported that a $544-million project proposed by Pataki and then-acting New Jersey Governor Donald T. DiFrancesco would restore PATH service to Lower Manhattan. Less than two months later, a $300-million contract is in place that will expedite the process, with work on a temporary Downtown PATH station due to start in three weeks and completion expected in less than two years.

The contract, which was awarded to a partnership of Tully Construction, Yonkers Contracting Co. and A.J. Pegno Construction, also includes repairs to two PATH tunnels under the Hudson River, expansion of the Exchange Place PATH station in Jersey City, and the building of new crossovers that will allow PATH trains to cross between tunnels at Exchange Place. The new crossovers allow the Exchange Place station to become operational within 18 months, which will help Manhattan-bound commuters to access ferries to Lower Manhattan prior to the reopening of the WTC PATH station.
