Union Carpenters and Contractors Revitalize MTA Park Avenue Viaduct

Friday, August 2, 2024

Union carpenters and contractors have been diligently repairing and replacing rails and columns on the historic 130-year-old MTA Park Avenue viaduct. This structure is essential for most Metro-North trains, including the Harlem, New Haven, and Hudson lines. The MTA relies on the skilled labor of union contractors and carpenters from the New York City District Council of Carpenters to ensure the safety and reliability of the tracks.

Halmar International is spearheading the creation of new footings and concrete columns, while Railworks Transit is installing the mechanisms and components onto the precast slabs to modernize the aging rails. Their unwavering dedication ensures that Metro-North can replace its aging infrastructure, resulting in a more reliable service for all passengers.
