…and they may still haul the earth out to Queens through the tunnel. It depends on where they are going to dispose of it. I didn’t hear about Manhattan getting any bigger (yet again), so I assume the spoils are going to be landfill elsewhere.

I suppose if the spoils get to Sunnyside yard that one option would be to dump them into rail trucks and take them out over the Hellgate bridge.

Manhattan schist make great concrete and asphalt aggregate. That what the schist spoil was used for that came out of the tunnels of the A Route Red line in Washington. Most of the Upper Connecticut Avenue section spoil/muck went to an asphalt plant in Crofton Maryland where it was made in to asphalt to pave MD US-50 between New Carrollton and Annapolis prior to the road being totally rebuilt.
