Summary
They just finished rebuilding a 133-year-old rail viaduct in East Harlem five years early—without anyone noticing—and with trains running 97% on time. Using custom gantry systems, crews lifted 200,000-pound bridge sections into place between active tracks, all while keeping Metro-North running. The project came in nearly $200 million under budget, thanks to a mandate to innovate and cut costs. It’s part of a $9 billion citywide push to upgrade aging transit infrastructure. But not everyone’s happy—the owner of a garden center displaced from under the viaduct says his business is suffering, feeling like he’s writing his own obituary.
