Planned Overnight Construction in Section 5 Began This Week

By BRANDON ORTIZ As the Penn Station Access Project inches toward completion, the MTA announced on February 3 that they would be completing the next step in construction for the Co-op City station. Starting this week and extending until February 23, crews will be working within Amtrak’s Right of Way parallel to Erskine Place. Notably, this work will occur between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. during overnight shifts. MTA ofﬁcials noted that “there may be an increase of trucks and noise-generating equipment in the area,” but assured those near the construction that their contractor “has a sound mitigation plan in place com-

pliant with NYC Noise Control Code and DEP guidelines.” During these next weeks, the MTA is aiming to complete necessary drilling work for the overhead catenary system, which supplies electricity to the trains. Crews will work to install the foundation for the overhead catenary system. Progress for the Penn Station Access Project has not been consistent overall, with the project facing delays due to complications in coordination between the MTA and Amtrak. Instead of the original date of March 2027, during an October 2025 MTA Board meeting, the MTA pushed back the projected completion date tentatively to the summer of 2030. (Continued on page 2)
