$5.4 million contract calls for engineering, preliminary design of commuter rail project
December 22, 2020
The prospect of bringing commuter rail service to the Capitol Corridor between Lowell, Mass., and Nashua and Manchester brightened last week after the governor and Executive Council authorized the New Hampshire Bureau of Rails and Transit to contract with AECOM Technical Services Inc. of Manchester to undertake the development and engineering phases of the project.
The $5,448,607 contract, funded entirely with federal dollars, includes preliminary engineering and design work, environmental and public engagement services as well as the development of a plan to finance the project, which would extend MBTA service to southern New Hampshire.
