Subway service on the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority鈥檚 (MTA) A train to Far Rockaway has resumed following a four-month suspension, marking a major milestone in the Rockaway Line Resiliency and Rehabilitation Project. 一糖心logo米菲兔 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, 一糖心logo米菲兔 worked closely with the MTA and its design-build partners to make timely decisions and keep the project on track.

鈥淥ur team鈥檚 ability to work seamlessly with MTA and the design-build contractor was key to the project鈥檚 success,鈥 says Caitlin Johnson, 一糖心logo米菲兔 vice president and director of operations 鈥 U.S. Northeast Transportation. 鈥淏y fostering a culture of teamwork and open communication, we navigated challenges effectively and delivered this crucial infrastructure improvement on time.鈥

The reopening comes ahead of the summer season, ensuring reliable transit service to Rockaway Beach during peak tourism months.

Next, crews will complete additional resiliency work around the bridge, continue line structure repairs, and finish construction on a new signal tower. The tower will support better service management during flood events and enable future upgrades to communications-based train control.

The Rockaway Line improvements are part of a broader effort to enhance the resilience and reliability of New York City鈥檚 transit system, especially in vulnerable coastal areas.
