The same thing was done when the Belt Parkway viaduct over the Coney Island subway yard was being rehabilitated many years ago; a temporary roadway was built over the whole thing while one side of the viaduct at a time was reconstructed. All I could think at the time was, "this isn't cheap." The idea of constructing a new tunnel isn't so farfetched, especially if the pain of reconstruction is just too much to spread around any other way. The problem is that "expedite" is a dirty word in MTA parlance, and NIMBY's would be out in force to obstruct anything that might help such a project along at either end. |
