The megaproject¡¯s independent engineer, Kent Haggas, said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority needs to complete 300 tests on key equipment like fire alarms, radio communications and elevators ¡ª with only 12 weeks to go. ¡°That¡¯s an average of 25 a week,¡± Haggas said. ¡° You¡¯re at 10, so it¡¯s got to ramp up, as of last week.¡± ¡°This is our No. 1 concern,¡± he said. MTA Chair Thomas Prendergast was still bullish on getting the first phase of the subway ¡ª four new stations on Second Ave. along an extended Q line, up to 96th St. ¡ª open by Dec. 31. MTA board member Andrew Albert raised the possibility of pushing the start date back several weeks into 2017, but Prendergast was set to get the stations ready for riders this year. ¡°We¡¯re gonna keep the pressure on to get it done by Dec. 31,¡± Prendergast said. ¤t Construction of the Second Avenue Subway as of late January 2013. Construction of the Second Avenue Subway as of late January 2013. (Patrick Cashin/Metropolitan Transportation Authority) There have been two stations giving construction crews problems . At 72nd St., the MTA needs to finish installing escalators and elevators, then connect it to the fire alarm system, ¡°the last major activity of the project,¡± said Haggas. Over at the 86th St. station, escalators and elevators need to fully installed and tested. |

Unbelievable.I can understand milking a job out...but this is beyond ridiculous. 10 years is way too long to build several stations,running tunnels and equipment installation. |

Wrong.WMATA built several segments under similar conditions in 2 to 3 years less time. An example is the C Route between 13th Street and portal north of Arlington Cemetery. Half of which was mined using the drill and blast method. Construction commenced in early 1970, opening was in mid 1977. |

My point that you missed was that it makes perfect sense that the escalators would be the first thing to break, and it would be normal and acceptable. So Mitch45's figure of speech and his attempt to criticize NYCT was completely wrong and uncalled for. |

Except the original statement was that Elevators would be the first to break, not escalators.They can't both be the first to break... |
