The Battery Coastal Resilience project is taking shape, thanks to union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters. This critical effort will protect and revitalize The Battery, a historic 25-acre park located at the tip of Manhattan, in response to the growing threats of climate change and rising sea levels. The project features a newly constructed seawall, a pile-supported waterfront esplanade, drainage improvements, and sustainable design elements. Trusted union contractors Walsh Construction, D’Annunzio & Sons, and American Pile and Foundation are executing the work in carefully planned phases to minimize disruptions. Completion is expected in 2026. Walsh Construction Company: https://lnkd.in/ghJjQpVv   D’Annunzio & Sons, Inc.: https://lnkd.in/e2_qd7KP American Pile and Foundation, LLC.: https://lnkd.in/eyemsW3Y

Walsh Construction has completed the first of two spans in the replacement of the I-270 Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River. The opening of the new span to eastbound traffic marks the halfway point of this $496.2 million project for the Illinois Department of Transportation and Missouri Department of Transportation. Next month, westbound traffic will also have two lanes across the new bridge. Eastbound and westbound traffic will use the new bridge while Walsh Construction builds the project's second span. Construction is anticipated to be complete in 2026. Click here to read more: https://lnkd.in/gy7QNEwJ

✅ We’re making progress on the Susquehanna River Bridge Project and delivering on our commitment to partner closely with local communities. Earlier this year, our contractor, Fay Construction, began demolishing and removing 10 leftover piers from a nearby railroad bridge that had its superstructure removed several decades ago. In November, this critical early work package crossed the finish line on schedule and with zero safety incidents or lost time. We went above and beyond our regulatory commitments to salvage some original stones from a few piers, which were delivered to the City of Havre de Grace and the Town of Perryville at their request. The stone blocks were made of locally sourced granite from the Port Deposit quarry upriver from the project area. Amtrak was honored to collaborate with leadership from the City and Town to preserve a piece of the region’s rich transportation history. Although no longer utilized, the remnant piers have long been an impediment to boaters. Removing the remnant piers will help mitigate a serious potential safety hazard for the many boaters that travel along the Susquehanna River. The federal environmental review process for this project identified the removal of the remnant bridge piers as a necessary step toward building the new and improved bridge replacement that will enable top speeds of 160 mph while also improving safety and navigation along this portion of the Susquehanna River.

A gentle reminder: Road construction crews are not in your way. They’re working. Please slow down and give them room to work safely. #roadsafety #roadconstruction #safetyforconstructionworkers #respectthepylon #moveoverforroadworkers #slowdown #moveover

While construction season winds down for some, for others, it’s just a transition to a new phase of effort. These highlights are just a glimpse of the dedication and teamwork of our crews and partners. #KLJ #EngineeringReimagined #Construction
