"Second Avenue Subway Expansion: MTA's Plan for East Harlem and Potential Delays"
TL;DR Summary
The MTA plans to use the "cut and cover" method to build a portion of the Second Avenue subway in East Harlem, tearing up five blocks of streets to keep costs down. The extension will run 1.5 miles with three new stations, and the agency has awarded a $182 million contract for relocating utilities in the area. However, further progress is contingent on funding from the planned congestion pricing program, and the MTA will not issue additional contracts until legal challenges to the tolls are resolved.
