Under the contract, the joint venture, named Broadway Subway Project Corporation, will design, construct and partially finance 6 km of tunnelling, six underground stations and install 700 m of the elevated structure.
Construction on the project is scheduled to commence in fall 2020, with commissioning planned in 2025.
