South Coast Rail - Work Begins
May 6th, 2022
Banton has started the construction of a new crew building in New Bedford, MA at the Wamsutta Layover Yard. Banton is performing the work in the capacity of a subcontractor to the SCR Constructors (Middlesex Corporation and Tutor Perini Joint Venture).
This layover facility is a small, but integral part of a $403.5 million-dollar contract, a portion of the $1.1 billion-dollar South Coast Railroad Expansion. This endeavor is designed to extend commuter rail services to Fall River, New Bedford, and surrounding towns in Southeastern MA.
Banton’s work is scheduled to be completed Spring 2023.
