In order to advancing the Baltimore\u2019s Howard Street Tunnel Clearance Program, a Skanska and Fay, S&B USA Construction joint venture have been selected by CSX Transportation (CSXT)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While modernization of the 125-year-old tunnel for housing double-stacked trains, is a content of this project, it also includes lowering the track and enlarging the 2.75km-long tunnel to increase the height from 5.8m to 6.4m, as well as improving drainage.<\/p>\n

The rail line will remain open while the work is carried out.<\/p>\n

As a challenge for the modernization program, the combination of three methods used in the original tunnel construction (concrete box, cut and cover, and mining) was implemented. The Skanska-Fay JV\u2019s approach will center on optimizing track profiles and alignments within the existing structure, to achieve the prescribed horizontal and vertical clearances. <\/p>\n

The scheduled date for completion of this project is June 2027, whereas Hatch is due to serve as the lead design engineer.<\/p>\n

Linking major urban centers along the east coast from Florida to New England, the Howard Street Tunnel is in the heart of Baltimore City, along CSXT\u2019s I-95 rail corridor and plays a pivotal role in CSXT\u2019s rail network. Additionally, connection of the Port of Baltimore\u2019s Seagirt Marine Terminal Intermodal Container Transfer Facility to key consumer markets in the mid-west is up to this tunnel.<\/p>\n

According to Peter MacKenna, president and CEO of S&B USA Construction (parent company of Fay): “Having worked on this corridor with CSXT on several other projects, we know the importance in enabling the passage of double-stacked trains with the completion of this project while maintaining rail traffic during the construction of this project.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
