You probably misread what I wrote here ... in the section called "The 1940s Expansion Proposal".

I wrote: "Speculation has it that the connection between the 9th Ave El and the Lenox Ave line never occurred because the third rail in the tunnel between Sedgwick and Jerome/Andersen Avenues would need to be modified to accommodate newer subway cars, and the cost may have been too great."

It wasn't the tunnels but the location of the third rail.

I don't have my source for this quotation available.
