Second Avenue Subway Project


Second Avenue Subway Project

“Another New York City transportation project is among the most expensive. The plan to build a subway along Manhattan’s Second Avenue also included modernizing certain stations, in addition to the creation of new ones.That project was completed in 2017, and is estimated to have cost about $4.5 billion. Meanwhile, a second phase is still in the works, which is expected to cost another $4.5 billion. The city hopes Phase Two will be completed in 10 years.” (Foxbusiness)
In recent times, the project has become a case study of how the public slowly gets frustrated with civil agencies trying to implement mass projects. There have many rumours regarding how the entire project was not really needed and was a complete waste of money, just for building three stations. Irrespective, it will be interesting to see how the project shapes up in the future.
