MTA
East Side Access #LIRR finally scheduled to open tomorrow. Better late than never #transit #MTA #eastsideaccess
Grand Central Madison(GCM), the project formerly known as East Side Access will be opening soon. And here’s a sign to prove it. GCM must be NYC’s biggest mass transit in decades (since the 1930s?): eight tracks and four platforms, a tunnel under the East River, and lots of track work in Queens. #nyc #transit #masstransit #lirr #trains #train #subway #eastsideaccess #gct

East Side Access won't be finished by 2022, but trains to Grand Central still planned for this year

After promising for nearly five years that the project would be finished by the end of 2022, a new report notes that construction of the LIRR's new concourse and facilities at Grand Central Terminal won't be done until February 2023.
