Truly great news as NYC moves forward with this subway extension.

But the cost remains mind-boggling. We're talking $1.97 b for 1.6 mi of new tunnel, space for 125th St station, & upgrades to 0.5 mi of existing tunnel.

In Paris, a €2.5 b contract awarded last year will build 10.6 mi of new tunnel.
