Re: Cut and Cover explanation

Sorry, no. You need to do a little reading.

Cut and cover means you've placed the decking at the beginning of work. You work under the decking.

Open cut means you work in an open construction area. after you are done you can put a deck over the finished line if that is what the plan calls for. Open cut construcion costs much less than cut and cover construction because you don't restrict the work crews.

LIRR is currently building a tunnel extension into Sunnyside Yard. It will have a deck over it when it's done but it is not a cut and cover project.
