The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) Grand Central Madison (formerly East Side Access) program in New York is its largest capital project and the first expansion of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in over 100 years.
这个雄心勃勃的交通项目使区域铁路网现代化并得到加强, delivering greater connectivity to support Long Island’s rapidly growing population and giving LIRR riders faster access to the East Side of Manhattan. The project, which opened to the public in January 2023, 缓解了交通拥堵，并大大缩短了纽约市铁路用户的通勤时间.
This transformational program is one of the biggest transportation infrastructure projects to be completed in North America in recent history, with work spanning three boroughs, including eight miles of tunneling works in Manhattan and Queens; 40 miles of new tracks; a new terminal under Grand Central Terminal; and a new rail yard in the Sunnyside Yard in Queens.

Jacobs作为项目管理办公室(PMO)的合作伙伴支持简化的交付. 一个复杂的可交付物网络和相互关联的依赖关系, 我们角色的一个关键要素是集成超过15个系统合同, from traction power to signaling.
我们的专家团队帮助监督和支持该计划的许多组成部分, including the boring of nearly eight miles of railroad tunnels in Manhattan and Queens; the laying of 50,000 feet of track; the building of a new terminal under Grand Central Terminal and the testing and commissioning of the systems that will work in unison. In addition, extensive infrastructure work included the construction of new ventilation buildings and substantial surface works, 以及美国最繁忙的客运列车联锁的现代化.S., Harold Interlocking.
“We’re proud to support the MTA in the delivery of the biggest transportation infrastructure project currently being implemented in North America. It’s set to dramatically reduce commute times for New Yorkers and will play an important part in the region’s economic recovery.”
Jacobs的一个关键角色是交付位于皇后区的CO8牵引变电站. The prefabricated modular substation was fully built and installed offsite and delivered to the site in 22 sections to reduce disruptions for rail users, with assembly subsequently completed in just seven days.
The new tunnel and track system increases the LIRR's capacity into Manhattan and shortens the travel time for approximately 162,每天约有40分钟的通勤时间从长岛和皇后区东部出发. It also eases congestion on the city’s trains and subways, especially around the neighboring Pennsylvania Station.
The new terminal, which has eight tracks and four passenger platforms, is able to accommodate eight trains at a time, enabling service for up to 24 trains during peak hours. Located directly below Grand Central Terminal, the new Grand Central Madison concourse provides 350,000 square feet of new space, including over 25 retail store fronts and multiple entry and exit points to Grand Central Terminal and street level.
“Grand Central Madison is a transformational project that will significantly strengthen the regional rail network, delivering faster commutes, fewer delays, greater reliability and more options for passengers.”
