City Lights has completed a number of major transportation projects - including many fast-track jobs - in and around the City of Boston. This includes the installation of overhead catenaries, as well as the related traction power systems, for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Silver Line project. When completed, the Silver Line will utilize a dual electric/diesel system to power buses, and will carry an estimated 60,000 passengers daily.

Other work completed by City Lights in the transportation services field includes the installation of a light-emitting diode messaging system, better know as LEDs, at 65 MBTA commuter rail stations in eastern Massachusetts. The scope of work for this project included sign structure fabrication, variable message sign installation, fiber optic cabling, fiber terminations, certified testing of fiber optic cabling, concrete work, and the installation of CES bungalows. Despite having to perform all of this work at multiple locations spread out over the entire eastern half of the state, City Lights completed this fast-track job in just 120 days.

Highways and Bridges
Highway projects are also among City Lights' major strengths in the transportation field. Past work in this area includes the installation of lighting and electrical systems within Boston's Ted Williams Tunnel, which links Interstate 90 with Logan International Airport. The tunnel also represented one of the first major milestones for the city's Central Artery Tunnel project, better known as the Big Dig.

Intelligent Transportation Management Systems
City Lights also specializes in intelligent transportation management and traffic systems, with experience in every aspect from signaling and communication networks, to pedestrian signals and variable message signs.

Renovations. Our team has renovated over 500 intersections throughout the state. Intersections on the Central Artery Tunnel Project C17A1 are reconfigured in a 24-hour period. The reconfiguration includes the removal of existing signals, installation of new cables, conduits, and signals. All work is completed working with the General Contractor, who is excavating and paving to relocate the roadway at the same time we complete our work.

Emergency Service. City Lights performs emergency service around the clock. We can remove and reset I.T.M.S. equipment, signals and/or equipment damaged in auto accidents. Damaged cables and/or controllers can be repaired and/or replaced.
