The grant for Amtrak Sandy Repairs helped Amtrak pay for recovery activities pursued immediately following Superstorm Sandy and begin to pursue projects to replace damages infrastructure and equipment. Immediate repairs to restore service utilized two thirds of the grant, mitigating the economic damage caused by the unavailability of a critical piece of infrastructure along the NEC rail network.
The grant for the Hudson Yards Concrete Encasement Project consists of the construction of an underground, sealed, watertight rectangular structure 800 feet long, 50 feet wide, and approximately 35 feet tall in the Eastern Rail Yard portion of the Hudson Yards rail yard in New York City.
Two projects remain to be completed in FY 2017 for Amtrak to repair damage caused by Hurricane Sandy along its heavily-traveled Northeast Corridor.
Projects completed in FY 18 included the construction of an underground, sealed, watertight concrete encasement designed to withstand future storm surge and other weather events.
Projects completed in FY 19 included the construction of an underground, sealed, watertight concrete encasement designed to withstand future storm surge and other weather events.
Projects completed in FY 2020 included the construction of an underground, sealed, watertight concrete encasement designed to withstand future storm surge and other weather events.
The last remaining project under the Assistance Listing will improve resiliency and mitigate potential impacts of disasters in the Northeast Corridor. The Long Island City and 1st Avenue Generators and Waterproofing System project’s main objective is for Amtrak to provide additional East River Tunnels flood protection measures to strengthen the flood protection infrastructure in the East River Tunnels and help prevent a flood surge from entering the East River Tunnels.
Work on the Long Island City and 1st Avenue Generators and Waterproofing System project will continue in FY 2022.
FRA expects work on the Long Island City and 1st Avenue Generators and Waterproofing System project to continue in FY 2024. FRA also anticipates closing the remaining grant and archiving the Assistance Listing in FY 2024. Reconstruction of Substation 41 and Hackensack Substation 42 Resiliency Improvements were obligated in FY 2024 and FY 2023 respectively.
FRA expects that work on the Long Island City and 1st Avenue Generators and Waterproofing System, Reconstruction of Substation 41, and Hackensack Substation 42 Resiliency Improvements projects will continue throughout FY 2025.
