East Side Access - MTA
Client: Parsons Brinckerhoff/STV
The East Side Access project will connect the Long Island Rail Road's
(LIRR) main and Port Washington lines in Queens to a new LIRR terminal beneath
Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. As part of the project, new tunnels will
be constructed from the LIRR Mainline tracks in Queens, under Amtrak's
Sunnyside Yard and LIRR's Existing Rail Yard, connecting to the existing
63rd Street Tunnel just beyond Northern Blvd. In Manhattan, new tunnels will
be bored from the existing bellmouth structure at Second Avenue and 63rd Street,
west and then south, under Park Avenue and Metro-North Railroad's four-track
right of way. At Grand Central Terminal, a new passenger concourse will be
constructed in space currently occupied by Metro-North's Madison Avenue
Yard. Eight tracks and four wide platforms will be constructed, along with
mezzanines and concourses, beneath Park Avenue at an elevation below GCT's
existing lower level. Scheduled for completion in 2013, the project has a budget
of $6.3 billion dollars.
