East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project

under construction

Skanska and E-J Electric Installation are rehabilitating two of the century-old East River Tunnels damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The project includes concrete repairs, new track installation, upgraded safety systems, ventilation and fire protection improvements, and upgrades to tunnel approaches and communication infrastructure. The goal is to modernize and rehabilitate the 2.5-mile-long tunnels connecting New York Penn Station and Sunnyside Yard to last for a century, reduce maintenance, and increase safety for passengers and workers.
