NEW YORK CITY-Despite wild weather, budget deficits and other events in 2011, work on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s four megaprojects hasn’t slowed down yet. According to the MTA, the 7 subway line extension, the Fulton Street Transit Center, the Second Avenue subway and East Side LIRR access are all on track for their scheduled completions.

In Lower Manhattan, work on the Fulton Street Transit Center is more than halfway done, with all structural work on the mezzanine level for the A and C trains now completed. Outside, all structural steel for the transit center building has been erected and the dome cladding is ongoing, says the MTA.

Other components of the transit center have already been completed and opened for customer use, including the rehabilitated 2 and 3 train Fulton Street Station, new 4 and 5 train station southern entrances and the new entrance at 135 William St. In addition, restoration of the historic Corbin building is continuing inside the 1888 landmark and is expected to be complete in late 2012, according to the MTA. The entire complex is slated for a June 2014 completion date.
