Project Detail

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Project Name:

MTA LIRR - East Side Access

Description:

The East Side Access project will connect the Long Island Rail Road's (LIRR) Main and Port Washington lines in Queens to a new LIRR terminal beneath Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. The new connection will increase the LIRR's capacity into Manhattan, and dramatically shorten travel time for Long Island and eastern Queens commuters traveling to the east side of Manhattan. The ITS portions of this mega-project include real time traveler information, transit vehicle tracking, transit maintenance, and transit security. Source: MTA Capital Plan
