By and large, most New Yorkers won’t believe the Second Ave. subway is here until they set foot on a platform and board a train that heads up or down the avenue. But the City is doing its best to make it happen sooner rather than never, and April 12 is the first physical set in the plan to bring the Line that Almost Never Was to the city.
The official groundbreaking ceremony for the Second Ave. subway is set for Thursday, April 12, according to NY1.
It has been in the works for decades and now there is finally a date attached to construction of the Second Avenue subway.
The MTA said Wednesday that a groundbreaking will take place April 12th in a tunnel under 99th Street.
While residents are still concerned about the impact the construction will have on the neighborhood, the MTA claims disruptions will be kept to a minimum. Soon, we’ll know who’s right.
April 12 will be an exciting day for the city. Construction will start on the first new subway line in decades, and the East Side will get some badly needed subway relief. I can’t wait.
