The Massive New Tunnels Hollowing New York City
紐約市魁偉的新建隧道
There is a 7m long, 180-tonne steel monster under Manhattan. Dead, resting deep some
where under Grand Central
Station and Park Avenue, this machine and her twin brother
excavated the massive tunnels that you can see here,
one of the largest public transportation
works of our time.
在曼哈頓的地底下,有一個長達七米,重達180噸的鋼鐵怪物,沉睡在中央車站
以及公園大道的地
底某處,這台機器與另一台同樣功能性的機器,創建出許多隧道
,在這個時代最偉大的工程之一。
Here’s an impressive new look at the amazing tunnels and caverns of the East Side
Access, an extension of the Long Island Rail Road.
這個隧道將有一個令人讚嘆的全新面貌,隧道將由東區延伸至長島的鐵路系統。
Together, the two massive earthworms and an army of machines and workers were able
to eat 265,000 cubic metres
of New York’s bedrock heart, producing 9km of tunnels
and the massive caverns that will house the new station under
Grand Central. A project
so big that it prompted — unfounded — fears of a major collapse of some old city
buildings, like St Patrick’s Cathedral.
這兩隻地底下的巨大蚯蚓(指機器)與工人,能夠吃掉紐約市地底下265,000
立方米的土壤,生產隧道
以及大量的洞穴。長達九公里的隧道,在中央車站
下可以容納新的地鐵站。不過如此大的工程,也帶來
沒有根據的恐懼,一些
古老建築開始害怕崩塌,例如聖派屈克大教堂。
The work — which started in 2006 — has been so complicated that the entire project has
been delayed. Instead of 2014,
it will now be operational in 2019. The tunnels extend from
Sunnyside, Queens, to Grand Central, routing 24 trains per
hour at peak capacity. That’s
an amazing 162,000 passenger trips to and from Grand Central per day.
這項工程在2006年開始,但由於工程的複雜性,整個工期已經被延遲許久,原本預計於2014年完工,
但現在延遲到2019年。這個地鐵工程從恩光,皇后區延伸至中央車站。1創造出從中央車站出發的車,
每小時能有24班車的高峰,達到162,000人次,這是一個非常驚人的工程!
