Ehh, it's not even MTA I'm going to blame.  I'm 22 now and my parents told me they've been repairing the Gowanus Expressway before I was even born.  If they aren't done with that then I can't really see this being done by 2016.

Lol yeah by the time the finish with one side of the expressway, the other needs repairing. It's a cycle that has been going on for as long as I can remember.

2016 is in fact the completion date of phase 1.  Like everybody says though, we'll see it when we believe it.  They may be finished with tunnels, but it will take them another 5 years to actually finish the line.  They'll prolong it to keep jobs and what not.

I thought phase I fhinishes in 2014. If that's the case they might as well send it to the bronx like in the extra plan lol.

MTA pushed the date back twice hence why 2016 is in the midst.

i am glad that it is not delayed like before and not prone to obnoxious failures from the 1930s and 70s.

It may state that it isn't delayed but come on, it's New York, it's delayed. LOL, for example, I bring back the whole Gowanus situation.  Driving there is a hassle every morning.

it may be a hastle but people make sacrafices to improve the lifestyle of NYers and its not delayed if the tbm is still moving and the remaining 5years is to build the stations and entrances.

People make sacrifices  to improve the lifestyle of NYers?  They must not be sacrificing anything because, I believe DJ Hammers would agree with me, The Gowanus has been "under construction" for 22 years and probably more.

You may believe it's not delayed, they may say it's not delayed, but let's face it; it's New York.  Everything is delayed.

I agree with you besides this is like the 40's 50's and maybe 60's
Ya 2nd avenue will be done within 5 years yet it never happens
but they are making success but It depends if they keep on track of it
If they do I say 2016-2017

It's going to be a relief when phase 1 is done and over with.... Lessens the overcrowding on the Lex. Well at least around the Upper East Side.

I seriously.... don't think phase II is going to be much of a problem compared to the current phase, cause for the most part... the tunnels are already there. Since the tunnels been there for years though, the problem might be bringing the tunnels to current codes, etc....
