      Not to mention he made it far more expensive and removed what would have been one of the smartest investments in NYC because that plan also included plans for a link between NY Penn and Grand Central.

    This is a great, but the fact that the new tunnels being built will demolish the entire block south of Penn Station is ridiculous. We need to force MSG out so that we can not only rebuild Penn Station back to its former glory, but also save all the residents and businesses there from being forcing out and protect the historic 1872 St. John the Baptist Church there from being demolished.

    It is on time that's right but only because of Swedish Company SKANSKA that is working on this project

    • @reubensandwich9249
      @reubensandwich9249 5 месяцев назад

      It's a joint venture between them and Traylor Brothers, Skanska the majority. Skanska actually bought out several US companies years ago and thus gain the pre-qualifying.
      The cost and schedule of a project are more on the project's design than the construction contractor. A great design with no change orders equates to no additional costs and contract extensions.
