All Aboard Florida announced that it has selected Archer Western to improve rail infrastructure on the corridor for its new passenger-rail service scheduled for early 2017. The 66-mile rail corridor connects Miami and West Palm Beach.
The contractor will provide construction-management and general-contracting services for the project, which include safety improvements and upgrades, track work, rail signalization and structural construction. It will also perform work on 185 grade crossings; install quiet zones, where applicable; and build a new Running Repair Facility in West Palm Beach.
“Modernizing the rail infrastructure is central to All Aboard Florida’s new rail operations and to our commitment to public safety,” said Mike Reininger, president of All Aboard Florida.
“Archer Western is proud to partner with All Aboard Florida to create this new passenger-rail system,” said Daniel P. Walsh, president of Archer Western. “We believe the service will transform the way people move between South and Central Florida, and will give residents and visitors a safe and comfortable alternative to highway-and-air travel. We are pleased to be a part of this team and are committed to delivering a safe and quality project.”
