NYC’s Second Avenue subway – envisioned for three-quarters of a century, now finally becoming a reality
Posted September 28, 2012, Length: 25:00
Construction of the Second Avenue Subway on the East Side of New York City – a project that has been discussed for 75 years – began in April of 2007 and is scheduled for completion in December of 2016. This subway will consist of two miles of tunnels under Second Avenue, from 125th Street in the North to the Financial District in Lower Manhattan. The hosts talk about this long-awaited and very important addition to the New York City subway system with Peter Cafiero, Chief of Operations Planning for MTA NYC Transit.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
