Amtrak has selected an AECOM-led team to support the development of the $1.5 billion Susquehanna River Rail Bridge project, the firm announced today.

The project calls for replacing the existing 117-year-old, two-track bridge located in Maryland with two new bridges that will increase capacity and improve reliability of both freight and passenger trains in the Northeast Corridor.

AECOM will provide a range of professional services, including project management, design coordination, stakeholder coordination and schedule management. The company will lead a technical team of subconsultants, including Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms.

"The complexity of the Susquehanna River Rail Bridge Project requires a team that connects global expertise with local perspective and brings together the right disciplines and resources," said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. East and Latin America region, in a press release. "We’re honored to continue our long-standing partnership with Amtrak to support them in delivering high-quality, on-time, state of-the-art infrastructure that will transform transportation for the region."
