There is a big condo-type building as well smaller tenement like structures lying in the path of this cut in the area of Boerum Pl, Red Hook Lane, Livinston St and Schermerhorn St. Since this would have to be cut-and-cover construction in order to go under and then merge with the existing shallow trackage, it would probably require the use of eminent domain and demolition of some or all of these buildings. Another way to build this cut would be to deep bore it just east of the water line while it's still deep enough under Montague St to mine the tunnel and turn it unto Schermerhorn St west of the IND Court St stub. It would then have to emerge to cut-and-cover tunneling just east of there. This would probably require less disruption but be more lenghty and also cost more. It would also put the TM Station into revenue service.I hope there are some engineer types here who can give a much better analysis of the work required then me. |
