The Project will utilize a $75 million Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to undertake rail improvements in the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts. The Project also includes bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the City of Northampton, MA with the construction of an underpass that runs under the rail line. An additional benefit of the rail line rehabilitation will be improved freight service for customers along the line and within western Massachusetts. The improvements to the Knowledge Corridor will occur on the Connecticut River mainline of the Pan Am Southern (PAS) railroad, a joint venture between Pan Am Railways and Norfolk Southern. MassDOT, through its Rail and Transit Division, has designated the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA) Design and Construction Department to oversee the implementation of the Project through final design and construction and has entered into a Construction Agreement with Pan Am Southern, LLC to construct the Project. Significant Accomplishments This Period : - KNOWLEDGE CORRIDOR STATION AND UNDERPASS - 100% Design completed and distributed for review and comments. PS&E documents expected by 1/31/14. MBTA will issue a single construction contract for these elements of work. - KNOWLEDGE CORRIDOR PAN AM -Continue to receive new track materials@ South Deerfield Yard. Salvage contractor hired by PAS and mobilized for retrieval. Grade crossings track work north of Greenfield completed pending signal procurement. Grade crossing signal packages are on the street for bids. Balance of signal package designs ongoing.

The bridge contract is procured and managed by MassDOT. The grade crossing scope, performed by Pan Am , will include the required civil work (excluding culvert repair) . It may be challenging for PAS to complete the Track and Signal construction tasks on schedule due to late start, material delivery delays , and limited production due to labor and equipment issues, however work is ongoing . Work Planned for Next Period: HNTB - Submit PS&E documents for Stations & Underpass PAS - Construct panels for turnouts at CPR-38 , CPR-16, & CPR-9. MASSDOT - Provide additional funding for the project. Continue with procurement of bridge repair contract. MBTA - Advertise & Procure Stations and Underpass. Continue material procurement.
