Skanska has signed a contract with Amtrak for the Dock Bridge rehabilitation project in Newark, New Jersey, USA.
The contract is worth USD 87M, about SEK 810M, which will be included in the US order bookings for the second quarter of 2026.
The project scope includes upgrades to three parallel vertical-lift bridges carrying six passenger rail tracks along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, including decommissioning the movable spans and securing them in a fixed position. The work also encompasses removing existing mechanical and electrical systems, jacking bridge counterweights, installing permanent counterweight supports and rehabilitating concrete piers.
Work commenced in the second quarter of 2026 with expected completion in late 2028.
