ConDig (27-Feb-20).  Civil, building and specialty construction company Tutor Perini has landed a $432 million deal to revamp the Division 20 rail yard in Los Angeles. 

The contract with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority will feature demolition and modification of an existing tunnel portal, installation of new trackwork, a third rail, traction power and train control systems. It will also include construction of new storage areas and a new turnback facility to improve rail yard flow and efficiency.

Work on the project is slated to begin in the spring of this year, with substantial completion expected in early 2024.

As part of the Purple Line subway extension to Beverly Hills, Metro is planning improvements to the Division 20 rail yard, which flanks the L.A. River. The proposed upgrades include the widening of an existing portal to the southeast of Union Station, along with the construction of a new turnback facility that will allow subway trains to run more frequently.

In September, a subsidiary of Tutor Perini secured a $178 million deal to replace homes at Andersen Air Force Base in the United States territory of Guam.
