Posted by Michael549 on Wed May 30 11:59:43 2012, in response to When a New Transit Project Is Announced, Expect Delays, posted by Gold_12TH on Tue May 29 16:43:56 2012. There were several tunnels for the Second Avenue Subway-Queens Super-Express project that were started and completed in the 1970's on-time and budget. I mention the rail tunnels under Second Avenue in East Harlem, Chinatown, and the whole Archer Avenue project, as well as the 63rd Street double-decked tunnel under the East River.The MTA reported that the Eastside Access Project major problem has to do with with the switch plant and trackage at the Harold Interlocking in Queens - NOT the tunnels under 63rd Street, or to/through Grand Central station. Weaving new track and switch connections through a huge working trackage junction is not an easy task - just think about the switch that was done to connect the 63rd Street to the Queens Blvd line - something that was never in the original plans. The devil is always in the details, when the rubber meets the road, in any kind of a large project. Being clear on the details, matter. Mike |
