The North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement and Associated Track & Signal Upgrades project represents a major investment in Greater Boston’s transportation infrastructure, requiring coordination across complex technical, operational, and stakeholder considerations.

This panel discussion will bring together representatives from the owner, design team, and construction team to explore the project’s transition from Design-Bid-Build to Design-Build at the 75% design phase. Through a collaborative discussion, panelists will share their perspectives on the decisions, challenges, and opportunities that shaped the project’s delivery, highlighting what worked well, and lessons learned in procurement strategy, risk management, communication, and team collaboration that can inform future transportation infrastructure projects.
