Even with the current inflated costs of all transit construction, I am hard pressed to believe that a subway connection using the existing bellmouths to the Queens Blvd tunnels would cost $1 billion extra over LIRR service, unless I am missing something here. The 63 St connector cost less than that as I recall and there were no bellmouths and the tunnel actually had to be widened an entire track width, all while maintaining daily service. |
