I'm struggling with the part in bold. If I'm parsing this correctly then the
simplified relative clause will be

> ＪＲ東日本が建設を進めている駅

My problem is that 進める already has a subject (ＪＲ東日本) and an object (建設), but I
thought 駅 would be the object.

My only guess is that を isn't the object marker here but means 'through' (like
the use with 歩く for example). So the clause would read 'the station that JR
are progressing through _the_ construction _phase_.

Am I correct or have I made a serious parsing error?

Use of を with 進める
駅 is connected to 建設. 「駅の建設」というふうにつながります。

The non-relative version of

> 「JR東日本が（東京の山手線の品川駅と田町駅の間で）建設を進めている **（新しい）駅** 」

is...

> 「JR東日本が（東京の山手線の品川駅と田町駅の間で） **（新しい）駅** の建設を進めている。」

It seems you might be overthinking here.

First of all, 「進{すす}める」 is a 100% genuine **_transitive_** verb, which is why
it naturally takes 「を」.

The 「を」 that you are talking about can only be used with **_intransitive_**
verbs. (「町{まち}を歩{ある}く」、「公園{こうえん}を走{はし}る」, etc.) So, 「進める」 cannot be used with
that particular 「を」.

「建設{けんせつ}を進める」, therefore, means " ** _to proceed with construction_** ". (It
is frustrating having to use the English intransitive verb "to proceed" to
define the Japanese transitive verb.)

> My problem is that 進める already has a subject (ＪＲ東日本) and an object (建設), but
> I thought 駅 would be the object.

「建設」 is the object. They are **_not_** 進めている an 駅{えき}. One could, of course,
say that they are 進めている the 駅の建設.

> 建設を進めている新しい駅の工事現場{こうじげんば}

thus means:

> "the construction site for the new station that (JR) has proceeded to build"

The original contains both 建設 and 工事. In my attempt not to use "construction"
twice, I ended up using "proceeded to build"

Japanese sentences can have more than one "subject". The un-relativized, base
sentence is something like this.

> この新しい駅 **は** JR東日本 **が** 建設 **を** 進めている。  
>  As for this new station, JR East is proceeding with the construction.

Similar examples:

>   * 彼が中国で計画を進めているプロジェクト
>   * 彼女がすでに内容を確認してある書類
>   * 彼が品種を改良しているバラ

駅 is part of the object.

ＪＲが駅の建設を進めている。  
JR is advancing the construction of a station

ＪＲが建設を進めている駅。
