L.K. Comstock & Company Inc., a subsidiary of RailWorks Corporation, has been awarded a $98 million contract with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to modernize the signal system on the Kings Highway Interlocking in Brooklyn, N.Y.
L.K. Comstock will install the upgraded signal system and CBTC (communications-based train control)-ready equipment. RailWorks Transit, another subsidiary of RailWorks Corporation, will perform related track and civil work.
L.K. Comstock is responsible for designing, furnishing and installing the CBTC-ready signal equipment and testing and placing into service of all equipment required to modernize the existing signal system at the Kings Highway Interlocking. The interlocking will be controlled from the Church Avenue Master Signal Tower. The work will include communications for the signal complex and new dispatchers office, including train dispatch, train identification, CCTV and fire alarm systems.
RailWorks Transit is responsible for completing the track work, including a new special work portion, and constructing a new one-story relay room, CBTC and other equipment rooms and rehabilitating other existing rooms.
Work on the project extends 55 months with a targeted completion date in the spring of 2021.
