By GlobalDataTutor Perini has also won a contract with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to construct four platforms and eight tracks for the new Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) terminal as part of the East Side Access Manhattan.
Work under the project will include transformation of two 1,143ft-long caverns into a terminal station, with more than 12 miles of track work from Queens to Manhattan.
Tutor is also building a tunnel approach and a bridge for the project.
East Side project works under the two contracts are worth $742m.
MTA chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast said: "These are significant milestones for East Side Access and will turn raw underground caverns into the modern station.
"East Side Access will save Long Island and Queens customers up to 40 minutes a day in travel time, demonstrating why transit expansion is a key element of our 2015-19 Capital Program."
