If they couldn't get the money, they would not charge it. London is 60% of NYC's cost and they have just as much garbage below the streets as we do from the 18th and 19th century version of those cities.All the MTA has to do is dig the ENTIRE extension by mining. You take out the soil you need to remove with an elevator at the two stations. Work on both tunnel segments simultaneously from the beginning. Only remove the dirt you actually need to and see if you can co-locate more equipment at the buildings you have to condemn. The Army Corps of Engineers can build that tunnel for 1/2 price. Frankly, the MTA's in-house construction teams do a good enough job that it may be wise to get them more involved in Capital Construction. |
