Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Sep 22 01:15:10 2018, in response to Re: Completion of Historic LIRR Double Track More Than a Year Ahead of Schedule, posted by Steamdriven on Sat Sep 22 00:15:37 2018. There was no room on the ROW for a third track; it had to be built from scratch by buying up adjacent property. Lots of local opposition to this and some still remains.And it sure is counting one's chickens to say that a project that has just broken ground a couple of weeks ago will be finished "more than a year ahead of schedule" (estimated to open by 2022, for now and only costing $265 million per mile). |
