NEW YORK, NY — Tutor Perini Corporation, a civil, building, and specialty construction company, announces that a joint venture between the company and its subsidiary, Frontier-Kemper Constructors, has been awarded a design-build contract valued at approximately $1.18 billion by the Gateway Development Commission for the Manhattan Tunnel Project, a component of the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP).
The HTP is a resiliency and reliability project to build two new passenger rail tracks between New York and New Jersey and rehabilitate the century-old North River Tunnel, which was badly damaged during Superstorm Sandy. The Manhattan Tunnel Project scope of work entails the design and construction of twin 30-foot diameter tunnels approximately 700 feet in length beneath the eastern shore of the Hudson River to existing cut-and-cover tunnels beneath Hudson Yards, along with an access shaft at 12th Avenue and the Manhattan West Side Highway, which will later become a ventilation facility for the tunnels.
Work is expected to begin in the spring of 2025 with substantial completion anticipated in 2029. The contract value is expected to be added to the Tutor Perini's backlog in the first quarter of 2025.
Tutor Perini Corporation offers diversified general contracting and design-build services to private customers and public agencies throughout the world. The company has provided construction services since 1894.
