Re: The Most Awful Transit Center in America Could Get Unimaginably Worse

Are the Hudson river & Steinway tunnels bored thru solid rock? It Seems that the NATM method is designed to work best when going thru solid rock. IIRC both tunnels only have sections that go thru bedrock, the rest thru muck thus might not a viable tunneling method for a rebuild.

NATM can be used in any conditions, The WMATA Tysons Corner tunnels were through sedimentary sands and gravel.
