Jacobs served as the project management consultant, overseeing the shutdown phase and helping deliver the milestone on schedule. The work focused on three key areas: replacing critical swing bridge components to improve reliability, rebuilding the Hammels Wye line structure, and installing flood resiliency measures to protect against future storm damage. Despite tight deadlines and challenging site conditions, Jacobs worked closely with the MTA and its design-build partners to make timely decisions and keep the project on track. “Our team’s ability to work seamlessly with MTA and the design-build contractor was key to the project’s success,” says Caitlin Johnson, Jacobs vice president and director of operations – U.S. Northeast Transportation. “By fostering a culture of teamwork and open communication, we navigated challenges effectively and delivered this crucial infrastructure improvement on time.” The reopening comes ahead of the summer season, ensuring reliable transit service to Rockaway Beach during peak tourism months.
