This New York City Transit/MTA Capital Construction project for $337,025,000 in Manhattan, is New York City’s first major expansion of the subway system in over 50 years. This project was named the “greatest New York Project that never was built” since it has been in the planning stages and has broken ground several times since 1920. Finally, it has come to fruition and, when fully completed, the line will stretch 8.5 miles along the length of Manhattan's East Side. The project consists of constructing a 65’ to 70’ wide by 810’ long structural box beneath 2nd Avenue, two tunnel bores emanating from this structural box, one mid-tunnel pump station and two shafts. All of this work is to be completed in 40 months. Schiavone is a partner in the Joint Venture, S3 Tunnel Constructors, consisting of Skanska Civil USA Northeast, Inc. as the managing partner, and partner J. F. Shea Construction Inc.
