Will Europeans Again Play Key Role in New York City Tunnel Bidding?
Contractors are evaluating two major New York City subway tunneling projects in Manhattan that will be bid later this year. The contracts are part of New York’s most ambitious transportation expansion in decades through three major subway and rail projects.
One contract is for a 2-mi.-long leg of the Second Avenue Subway, a new line on Manhattan's East Side. The other is a shorter extension of an existing subway line that will link Times Square to the Far West Side. Combined estimated cost: $5.8 billion.
