42nd Street Projects

MTA Construction & Development has embarked on a series of transformative infrastructure projects along the 42nd Street Corridor, stretching from Times Square to Grand Central Station. This ambitious initiative targets the revitalization of one of Manhattan’s most iconic and high-traffic transit corridors. The program encompasses nearly every major construction discipline, including heavy civil, structural, MEP, utility relocation, steam main replacement, Con Edison feeder wing backs, subway tunnel reframing, micropile foundations, rock tunneling, and the installation of elevators and escalators.

Managing this program required highly complex project coordination and logistics in the busiest and most densely populated area in North America. Intricate stakeholder engagement was critical, involving ongoing collaboration with NYCDEP, Con Edison, Verizon, and NYCDOT for MPT permitting and utility coordination. Extensive community outreach was also essential to minimize disruptions.

Artheon, serving as the prime consultant, provided comprehensive Resident Engineering Inspection (REI), construction management, and program controls services. This included schedule, budget, and risk management, as well as field inspections, document control, and oversight for safety, environmental compliance, and quality assurance. Our team operated as a strategic advisor to MTA C&D, helping guide the delivery of bundled construction contracts—a strategy adopted to streamline execution, reduce costs, and minimize commuter impacts.

NJDOT TP274 Route 295–42 Missing Moves

Artheon was selected by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) as the prime consultant for the Route 295–42 Missing Moves project, a complex, multi-disciplinary highway improvement located at the confluence of I-295, NJ Route 42, and NJ Route 55. The project spans the Boroughs of Bellmawr, Westville, and Runnemede, as well as the Township of Deptford, within Camden and Gloucester Counties, New Jersey.

This high-profile interchange accommodates more than 250,000 vehicles per day and historically experienced one of the highest accident rates in the state. The project was undertaken to improve traffic operations and safety by completing critical missing ramp connections, including the I-295 North connection to NJ Route 42 South and the NJ Route 42 North connection to I-295 South. Additional improvements included an added lane from NJ Route 55 North and realignment of ramps connecting NJ Route 42 to Benigno Boulevard and Creek Road.

Construction activities included approximately four miles of five-lane roadway construction, demolition of existing structures, construction of one new noise barrier, nine new bridge structures, fifteen retaining walls, and twelve sign support structures. Artheon provided comprehensive construction inspection services, overseeing roadway construction activities and ensuring compliance with NJDOT standards and project requirements throughout construction.
