PLANNING 63 ST. EAST RIVER TUNNEL FOR NEW YORK

The two-level, four-track 63rd Street tunnel is the keystone of an extensive massive 1.3 billion dollar program of underground railway improvements that is being undertaken by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the New York City Transit Authority. This program will also provide a new high-speed route from the Bronx along Second Avenue to midtown and downtown Manhattan, a superexpress line in Queens and other rapid transit extensions to benefit Brooklyn, Midtown Manhattan and Queens. Typical cross section of river trench section of the tunnel is shown and planned technique for sinking the concrete tubes into the bed of the river is discussed.
