Inside New York's Subway tunnels: Manhattan's underground expansionDr Michael Horodniceanu, the man in charge of extending Manhattan's Subway tunnels, explains how the daily commute will get easier for New Yorkers from 2019.

Expansion projects, costing at least $15 billion, are under way to improve New
York's Subway system by 2019.
"We have not done something like this for eighty years," said
engineer Dr Michael Horodniceanu, head of capital construction for the state
Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Sixteen storeys below New York's famous Grand Central Station, workers are
building a new 350,000-square-foot underground concourse to accommodate Long
Island Rail Road Trains as well as subway services.
"What you see here right now is the start of the next 100 years for Grand
Central, because what we are doing is we are building here for the future,"
said Dr Horodniceanu.
Meanwhile, to the east of Manhattan, the Second Avenue Subway is being built
to ease congestion for commuters.
