The 86th Station is ridiculously deep, with an enormous mezzanine. When they opened Archer, they said they'd learned from the mistake they made overbuilding it, and any future projects would be more sensible. We see how that worked out.Unless you're building under a mini-mountain range (168th, 181st, and 191st on the 1) or going under the river (Lexington Ave on the E/M), build shallow, like Prince and 8th Streets. I also don't see how a deep-bored tunnel was less disruptive topside. I checked out Second Avenue many times during the construction- and it was plenty disrupted!! All going deep did was add unnecessary cost. |
