This article explains how states can take the lead in “reimagining” #highway corridors as conduits for power & communication networks. #roadway #transportation #road #construction #stateDOT #infrastructure https://lnkd.in/eqwAnkGk

Does this mean we're finally getting infill stations on MARTA's heavy-rail system? If so, that's great news! We absolutely need new stations built in between existing ones, to provide access to rail transit closer to the emerging nodes of urban density near the tracks. Important: be sure to wrap in displacement-prevention funding/policy with the new stations, plus Transit Oriented Development with affordable housing at the stations.

This #bullettrain promises to be a #gamechanger, setting the stage for more high-speed rail projects in 🇮🇳 It heralds a brighter future for efficient transportation and building all round #economicdevelopment zones. #VikshitBharatSashaktBharat

Building high-speed rail is ‘not for the faint-hearted.’ Here’s how to get started. https://bit.ly/3Wv5Mw3

This is how you maintain and upgrade a rail line! Something AT and Kiwirail could learn from.

The Pacific Electric Railway once provided an extensive and efficient transit network in Southern California, but post-WWII policies and automaker interests led to its dismantling in favor of highways. This shift contributed to severe traffic congestion and pollution in Los Angeles. Today, the city is investing heavily in rebuilding its transit infrastructure, a costly endeavor that highlights the need for transit equity. Ensuring accessible, affordable, and efficient public transportation is crucial for sustainable urban development and reducing socioeconomic disparities. The history of the Pacific Electric Railway underscores the importance of prioritizing long-term benefits over short-term gains in urban planning.

BREAKING: The Port Authority Marks Major Milestone in Project to Replace the Midtown Bus Terminal The Port Authority and the Federal Transit Administration have signed the final environmental impact statement for the much-anticipated replacement of the 74-year-old Midtown Bus Terminal. This paves the way for early construction and federal support. “A magnificent new Midtown Bus Terminal will knit together New Jersey and New York to create an even stronger, more economically vital and easily accessible region.” – Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. The $10B project will be built for the future and designed to achieve net-zero emission goals, serving all-electric bus fleets and implementing 21st century technology at every turn. 🚌🌍 Learn more: https://ow.ly/45Vv50TxnwO #Infrastructure #PublicTransit #Sustainability #MidtownBusTerminal

The Chenab Rail Bridge 🎢 in Reasi district will soon see trains running on it. Soaring some 359 m above the Chenab River, it is the highest rail bridge in the world. The bridge is a fine example of human intelligence. This engineering marvel will help overcome daunting geographical obstacles to create a landmark of modern infrastructure and connectivity.🚇🇮🇳 #indianrailway #infrastructure

🚨 In the news: “In Australia’s rail infrastructure landscape, a transformative force is emerging. Martinus, once a burgeoning entity focused on product delivery, is now distinguishing itself as a expert in the design and construct (D and C) realm.” Read the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ggWwZupy #RailInfrastructure #NextGenRailway

🚆✨ Ensuring Railway Safety and Reliability with Advanced Monitoring Technology! ✨🚆 Infrastructure failures pose significant risks to railway operations, with consequences ranging from accidents to economic disruptions. But what if there was a way to proactively monitor railway assets and mitigate these risks before they escalate? @GEOFEM sheds light on the transformative potential of InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology in their recent article. By harnessing radar imaging and interferometry, InSAR enables continuous monitoring of ground movement along railway lines, offering early warning of potential hazards such as landslides, subsidence, or structural instability. Moreover, InSAR analysis can detect deformations or settlements in critical railway infrastructure, allowing for prioritised repairs and upgrades to maintain network integrity and passenger safety. But the benefits don't stop there. With valuable insights from InSAR data, infrastructure managers can optimise maintenance activities, allocate resources effectively, and ensure punctual service, thereby meeting performance targets and enhancing overall asset reliability. In a world where safety and efficiency are paramount, embracing innovative technologies like InSAR is key to shaping the future of railway transportation.
