I guess things are inching forward. At this rate the job may be finished by 2040 or so. Let's hope the old tunnels hold up till then.
So far I see little evidence that Congress is able or willing to make a deal to get funding for major infrastructure projects. Mr Trump also shows little interest in infrastructure, despite his earlier bluster on the subject.
Of course, the last major rail infrastructure project, the Long Island Rail Road link to Grand Central, is still limping along, years behind schedule, gulping millions of dollars a day in cost overruns.
The Second Avenue Subway, designed in 1928 as a six track subway linking Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, has finally completed 3 stations of a double track line. More to come, eventually.
Maybe 2040 is too optimistic.
