Hermann / MTA The Grand Central Terminal subway station upgrade is finally complete after five years of construction work, on time and under budget, MTA officials said on Tuesday. The work includes a new mezzanine floor to offer a more sprawling appeal and more space for commuters to traverse the iconic station."
"We tore out a lot of the old remnants of the office buildings and what was here before and created room for people to move around, MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said during an Oct. 28 press conference at the station. Workers also repainted the ceiling, laid 35,000 square feet of floor tiles, and added more lighting to the mezzanine by the 4, 5, 6, and 7 train connections in the station, which links the east and west sides of Manhattan."
Grand Central Terminal subway station upgrades finished after five years of construction, completed on time and $46 million under the $700 million budget. The project added a new mezzanine floor to expand commuter circulation and removed remnants of former office spaces to create more room for movement. Workers repainted the ceiling, laid 35,000 square feet of floor tile, and increased lighting near the 4, 5, 6, and 7 train connections. The overhaul replaced ten escalators, upgraded multiple elevators, painted 80,000 square feet of 7-line tunnel walls, added new grouting to stop water infiltration, and installed more security cameras. A new customer service center also opened.
