Central Florida Commuter Rail – Transit Phase 2 South
This project consisted of the design and construction of Phase 2 South of the Central Florida Commuter Rail Transit system.
The design and construction work included all design, engineering, construction, testing and commissioning as required for approximately 18 miles of expanded commuter rail service between the Sand Lake Road Station (MP 796.48) and the Poinciana Station (MP 813.82) on the existing Central Florida Rail Corridor (CFRC) Right of Way.
All track work provided a minimum of Class IV track throughout the project. Construction also included new stations and a Vehicle Storage and Light Maintenance Facility. The base concept design was enhanced, providing cost and schedule savings, with the approval of 13 Alternative Technical Concepts. Middlesex supplied 68% of all the labor and 63% of the equipment as a joint venture partner of this project.
