Actually TBM is not a bad way to go. The State and Dearborn St subways in Chicago were built as deep level tunnels all by hand without the aid of TBMs and the State St Subway opened up within 5 years of the start of construction. The problem is not with the methods of construction so much as it is with what passes for MTA planning not having the intestinal fortitude to plan properly and then execute those plans. I have said it before and it bears repeating, that what we need now is a Robert Moses like individual who will do for mass transit what Moses did for highways. Damn the NIMBYs and full speed ahead!!! |
