The Tunnels of NYC's East Side Access Project (33 photos)
smilesun Offer Upgrade User ID: 34997228 Italy 02/23/2013 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	The Tunnels of NYC's East Side Access Project (33 photos) A huge public works project is currently under construction in New York City, connecting Long Island to Manhattan's East Side. Deep underground, rail tunnels are extending from Sunnyside, Queens, to a new Long Island Rail Road terminal being excavated beneath Grand Central Terminal. Construction began in 2007, with an estimated cost of $6.3 billion and completion date of 2013. Since then, the cost estimate has been raised to $8.4 billion, and the completion date moved back to 2019. When finished, the line will accommodate 24 trains per hour at peak traffic, cutting down on commute times from Long Island, and opening up access to John F. Kennedy International Airport from Manhattan's East Side. Collected here are images of the progress to date, deep beneath Queens and Manhattan. 33 photos here [link to www.theatlantic.com] VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org]

How are they inspired by being involved in creating this?

Many Italian newspapers, such as Il Fatto Quotidiano are carrying stories which claim that the extension of Rome's underground rail network could result in the collapse of the Colosseum – one of Rome's main landmarks and perhaps the most famous historical monument in the world.

However, look at all that soft mud down there. They are undermining the integrity of the foundations of the city. Collapse is likely. I'll bet you $$$ the whole thing will create more traffic.

Is the traffic really that bad? I think it is more a payoff to the rich on Long Island who don't want to interact with the poor folk on Subways.
