The Roseville Tunnel near Roseville Road in Byram Township is expected to play a pivotal role in the restoration of passenger rail service from Port Morris to a new proposed station in Andover. 

The scope of the work includes the final design, construction, and commissioning of the Roseville tunnel rehabilitation project.

NJ Transit president and CEO Kevin Corbett said: “The contract awarded today for the rehabilitation of the Roseville Tunnel demonstrates NJ Transit’s commitment to the residents of Sussex County in restoring rail service along the Lackawanna Cutoff.

“As we work toward maximising equitable access to public transportation throughout New Jersey, I’m pleased that we’re advancing this important project in the northwest portion of our state where transit options are more limited.”
