REhabilitation of Six Bridges

In early 2008, New York City Transit was trying to determine how to halt the continuous water damage to six concrete and steel track bridges on Staten Island without greatly impacting revenue service. This complex, $11 million project was awarded to J-Track, and work began in March 2008.

Because of the time-sensitive nature of the project, J-Track’s work had to be extremely effective and efficient. J-Track took tracks out of service Friday nights, and removed tracks, ties and ballast to bridge invert. Fast setting epoxy waterproofing, new rails, ties and ballast were installed along with temporary track supports. Revenue service was running by Sunday night. Additional work included bridge painting, crack and spall repair, steel repairs and electrical signal support. This job was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
