It was probably rebuilt with 1918-ish methods- steel reinforced concrete meant to sit below ground level.At the time, the powers that were weren't sure what they were going to do vis-a-vis rebuilding. When they decided on putting a concourse (any type of open air concourse) beneath it, a different type of structure was needed to carry the IRT through. Hence the weekend closures, and billions in cost overruns. |
