Healey-Driscoll Administration Advances North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement Project, Job Creation
Governor Maura Healey today announced the next major step in delivering the North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement Project, a transformative infrastructure investment that will modernize a critical rail connection between Boston and Cambridge that serves the MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak's Downeaster Service.
The project is supported by a $472.3 million federal grant, the largest federal infrastructure award in MBTA history, and is expected to create more than 15,600 direct and indirect jobs across Massachusetts.
At an event today joined by Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Interim Secretary and General Manager Phil Eng, and members of the Ironworkers and union building trades who will help deliver the project, Governor Healey marked the signing of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) to support construction of the new bridge. This agreement will help ensure the project is completed safely, on time and on budget.
