Boston, MA – Richard Davey, secretary and CEO of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, said the agency has received proposals from three firms competing to add nine new tracks at South Station in preparation for expanded commuter rail and Amtrak service.

The project includes the potential for future air-rights development over the station that would pave the way for an office tower and help the state pay for the pricey project that involves moving the adjacent U.S. Postal Service.

HNTB, and Parsons Brinckerhoff are said to be in the bid mix for the job.
