Progress Update: East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project 

Amtrak’s East River Tunnel Rehabilitation Project is progressing on schedule, with steady advances since the first long-term tunnel outage began earlier this year. As part of the construction management team, SCE has overseen completion of the decommissioning phase, which included removing existing tracks, power, and signal systems, while also installing temporary lighting and ventilation to support a safe work environment. The project has now moved into demolition work, focusing on the removal of ballast, track, and the concrete bench walls that provide access to key tunnel systems.
