Major Metro-North Connector Rebuilt 5 Years Early Thanks to Prefab Pieces

The East Harlem Park Avenue Viaduct, a 133-year-old Metro-North rail structure, was rebuilt five years ahead of schedule using prefabricated bridge units and custom gantry systems, completed without disrupting passenger service. The project, under a $200 million budget, was led by Governor Kathy Hochul and MTA officials, emphasizing innovation and efficiency.
