They have to watch out for gas mains, water mains, electric and phone wires and the foundations of local buiuldings. They have to build under the street while not disrupting traffic unduly, they have to demolish various buildings and business to install the entrances to new stations, plus ventilation and emergency exits.

If anything, 15 years is an optimistic timetable.

hi ,

Not true. NY is not ful of unused lines. before subways they had elevates, all of which have been either already been made part of the subway system or demolished. Tunnels do not dig themselves, and even back in 1900 it was expensive. as is, there are stretches of lines once used and no longer active, but they run in areas already well served so there is no point. Small parts of this line were already built, and the sty wants to expand and finish them. it would be the first new subway line in at least 50 years.

And since when do water tunnes move?

A random tunnel is not the same as a line: a tunnel that goes 5-10 blocks is of no use, specially if it has no tracks, poor ventilation, no electricity, so forth and so on. Yes, some stations were closed, no lines were, so even if some stations were closed, they were on still functioning lines.

So yes, the MTA has to dig brad new tunnels and do all I said to get a new line of subway. Plus, new lines need only go were they are needed, not where someone happened for different reasons to dig a tunnel.
