WillD no one knows if No 1 tunnel can be shut off, its never tried.It need not be shut off and emptied for inspection, maintenance, and modifications to take place. They've been doing work with ROVs for the past few years, so eliminating flow along the tunnel will make it that much easier to complete their work on the tunnel even as it remains filled and pressurized. Either way NYC needs to address the need for crosstown transit construction in the near future. The first water tunnel cannot be allowed to obstruct tunnel construction perpendicular to it forever. |
