Arup recently marked the opening of the $2.6 billion MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) expansion project to the public. Arup partnered with Jacobs to provide project management to build the 9.8-mile third-track expansion to the LIRR Main Line. The expansion increases railroad capacity by 50%, alleviates congestion during peak hours and improves overall rail service and rider safety, Arup officials said in a press release.
