NEW YORK, NY — MPA Delivery Partners, the joint venture of Mace, Parsons Corporation, and Arcadis announces that the team has been awarded a $665 million, 4.5-year contract extension by the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) to continue managing the delivery of the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP).
The HTP is progressing on schedule and expected to create more than 95,000 jobs around the United States and generate more than $19 billion in economic activity. In addition to the thousands of employees in the New York/New Jersey region, the project is driving demand for U.S. suppliers of steel, aggregates, rail and track, and ventilation systems. With multiple active construction sites managing different portions of the HTP, the project is on schedule for the new Gateway Tunnel completion in 2035, and the existing tunnel's rehabilitation by 2038.
"This is a once-in-a-generation project and a true collaboration between the public and private sectors that will serve as a model for delivering future mega infrastructure projects around the world," said Joe Marie, Senior Project Executive for MPA Delivery Partners. "We are united in our goal of successfully completing this critical project, which will transform the Northeast Corridor and deliver billions of dollars of economic growth to the U.S. economy. GDC and MPA function as a fully integrated partnership, working closely together to ensure the Hudson Tunnel Project is completed on time and within budget."
The project involves building a new two-tube rail tunnel under the Hudson River and rehabilitating the existing 115-year-old tunnel, as well as 9 miles of new passenger rail track between New York and New Jersey to improve passenger rail service and enhance the reliability of the Northeast Corridor. These improvements will accelerate economic prosperity and growth around the country while improving long-term reliability and redundancy of the regional and national rail networks for NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak.
MPA was initially selected as the delivery partner on the project in February 2024.
