Long Island Rail Road trains had been scheduled to arrive hotels in new orleans in Grand Central Terminal in 2019 at a cost of $8.l3 billion, but transit officials now say it is going to take more time and money to finish the gargantuan East Side Access project.
After four extensions of the completion date and pricetag revisions for the East Side Access, the MTA Capital Construction Co. reported to the MTA committee that the project should be finished in 2020 or 2021 and cost between $9.3 billion and $9.7 billion.
The MTA requested the services of Rick Thorpe, a Los Angeles consultant, who said the MTA needs to establish what he called an executive steering committee as well as strengthen the management group overseeing the project.
Planners predict that the East Side Access will save some 160,000 riders from Queens and beyond at least 40 minutes on their commutes by arriving in Grand Central rather than Penn Station and taking alternate transportation or walking to destinations on Manhattan s East Side.
Although the No. 7 project was to have opened in June, it will likely be held up by possibly as long as three months due to problems workers encountered in connection with the installation hotels in new orleans of an elevator, an MTA Capital Construction spokesman said.
