The paper and presentation will provide details on the Louisville and Indiana Railroad (LIRC) Track Upgrade project concluding in 2019. The major infrastructure improvement project will support increased train traffic over the 100 mile LIRC line. These changes will provide enhanced rail access for the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville, increase capacity and efficiency along this corridor and improve connectivity for manufacturers, farmers, industrial shippers and other contributors to the area’s economic growth. The improvements will take the line from 263k at 25mph to 286k at 49mph. The paper and presentation will focus on both the program management and implementation of multiple simultaneous construction contracts which include 100 miles of roadbed and drainage improvements, 90 miles of new CWR, various bridge improvements including major pin truss replacement, and rehabilitation of all turnouts and grade crossings over a 4 year span. *Missed this Session or want to view it again?
