New Tunnel Project Details and Delays
The plan envisions a tunnel beneath the river with a $70,000,000 completion cost and a capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour each way during rush. About 6,500 workers were employed. The deepest point would be ninety feet below the surface, with a riverbed crossing time of three minutes. Construction began in 187% and faced interruptions, resuming in 1990 and again in 1901 under William G McAdoo, amid a complex takeover of related transit works.
