"As we rebuild our infrastructure, maintaining a strong partnership with industry is essential. This forum is just the beginning of that engagement for the North Station Draw One Bridge replacement. Not only will we replace the aging movable bridge, but we will replace the control tower, modernize signals, and improve our rail infrastructure giving us the necessary operational flexibility to improve service for our riders today and for future generations to come,” said MBTA CEO and General Manager Phillip Eng. We're inviting large-scale contractors, consulting firms, Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE), qualified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Veteran-owned businesses, and small businesses to discuss the $1.2 billion North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement Project at a construction industry forum on November 18. Registration is required as space is limited and only two people per firm may attend. RSVP by November 1 at 11:59 PM. #MBTA #Construction #Drawbridge #PublicTransportation #Event

“I’m proud of the MBTA team that worked diligently to put this project in a strong position to win this highly competitive federal award. I thank the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Deputy Secretary of Transportation Polly Trottenberg, and our partners at the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Acting Administrator Veronica Vanterpool, FTA Region 1 Administrator Pete Butler, and their entire team, for this incredible award allowing us to deliver the North Station Draw 1 project, freeing up state capital dollars for other essential needs,” said General Manager Eng. “This award continues to demonstrate our aggressive approach to pursuing all funding opportunities under the lead of the Healey-Driscoll Administration as we pursue every available federal grant. Our Grants and North Station Drawbridge teams deserve all the credit for their exceptional work to secure this funding which allows us to ensure the efficient and reliable movement of all North Station train lines while greatly improving our ability to provide more frequent, regional rail-style service across the entire northside corridor to serve future generations to come.” We're pleased to announce that the MBTA has won $472 million in federal funding for the North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement project - the largest federal award to date: https://ow.ly/GIUN50TtuCX #MBTA #PublicTransportation #Funding #Massachusetts #Infrastructure
