Progress Moves Ahead For Phase One Of Second Avenue Subway

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Second Avenue Subway will mark the first major expansion of the New York City subway system in 50 years.

CBS 2’s Andrea Grymes got an exclusive underground look at progress on phase one of the project.

On the Upper East Side of Manhattan – some 110 feet below the buildings, cars, and pedestrians – a huge project is under way to bring the new subway line to Second Avenue. Construction has been under way since 2007.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority capital construction president Dr. Michael Horodniceanu gave CBS 2’s Grymes a firsthand look at the progress.
