Halmar International has finished accessibility and structural work at the Yankee Stadium–161st Street station, the latest completed stop in the MTA's $965 million subway station renovation program, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's capital construction records.
The station is one of dozens the MTA has been pushing through its ADA accessibility initiative, which bundles elevator installation, structural rehab, and platform work into single contracts awarded borough by borough. Halmar International, a Nanuet-based heavy-construction contractor, has been a repeat winner on MTA station and structural packages over the past several construction cycles, according to the MTA's own procurement and bid-results postings.
Construction Dive first reported the completion Monday, tying it to the MTA's broader accessible-stations push. The MTA has said it is working toward 164 fully accessible stations under its current capital plan, a number the agency touted again this month at a Bryant Park accessibility event.
For contractors, a finished stop doesn't just close one job — it tells you what's next. The MTA's station accessibility program is structured as a pipeline: one station closes out, the next design-build or GC package in the same borough typically hits the street within weeks. Halmar's position on this job, alongside its recent work on other MTA structural contracts, makes it a useful bellwether for which firms are pre-qualified and bonded for this specific contract vehicle.
The $965 million figure covers multiple stations citywide, not just Yankee Stadium–161st Street, so a sub or GC sizing up the remaining scope should check the MTA's current-opportunities portal rather than assume the whole program is this one number.
Subs working structural steel, elevator installation, or ADA platform work should watch the MTA's bid-results and current-opportunities pages directly — the agency posts new station packages as prior ones close, and the Yankee Stadium completion signals another cycle is likely near.
