MysteriousBtrain Posted July 29, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2016 Now all of a sudden the GOs to South ferry in August make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 29, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 29, 2016 Not really. The ten-car platform is still closed until further notice. Perhaps the MTA is finally trusting their conductors' ability to read the dozen or so signs at South Ferry and not open the rear five cars.

Porter Posted July 30, 2016 Share #9 Posted July 30, 2016 Is this for real? Could it be true? Are they actually making that much progress on the new station? Might it actually open before Cortlandt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted July 30, 2016 Share #10 Posted July 30, 2016 Is this for real? Could it be true? Are they actually making that much progress on the new station? Might it actually open before Cortlandt?Easy there, they're only reopening the main entrance facing the ferry terminal (the one with the escalators and elevator). New SF is still closed indefinitely.

Mysterious2train Posted July 30, 2016 Share #11 Posted July 30, 2016 Might it actually open before Cortlandt? That's been the plan for a while now. New South Ferry reconstruction is currently scheduled for substantial completion in June 2017 while Cortlandt St is scheduled for August 2018 (and I wouldn't be surprised to see that date slip.)

ttcsubwayfan Posted July 30, 2016 Share #12 Posted July 30, 2016 Incidentally, why has it taken Cortlandt St so long to be rebuilt anyway? What happened to it doesn't seem like a repair that should have taken almost 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted July 30, 2016 Share #13 Posted July 30, 2016 They were waiting for the site to be redeveloped before starting the construction (because the 1 is right smack dab in the middle of the site) Sent from my iPod touch using NYC Transit Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porter Posted July 30, 2016 Share #14 Posted July 30, 2016 Incidentally, why has it taken Cortlandt St so long to be rebuilt anyway? What happened to it doesn't seem like a repair that should have taken almost 20 years. It's because a certain politician demanded that the 9/11 Memorial debut by the tenth anniversary of the attacks. Had construction been better planned, the Cortlandt station would have been completed by now. The issue is that the 9/11 Memorial sits atop the line (sort of), which means that all construction materials must be delivered by rail alone, which slows down the whole project considerably.

Lance Posted August 1, 2016 Share #15 Posted August 1, 2016 It's actually more of a lack of inter-agency cooperation that's caused this project to take so long. Rather than building Cortlandt St along with the World Trade Center station and 1 World Trade Center above it all at once and billing the MTA for Cortlandt St, the Port Authority went ahead and built their projects and because the area is so small, the MTA couldn't get in there to get any significant work done for Cortlandt St. However, seeing the extreme costs of the World Trade Center PATH station, it may have been for the best.

rbrome Posted August 4, 2016 Share #16 Posted August 4, 2016 The new (new) South Ferry station is slated to be completed mid-2017, according to the latest MTA board materials. (The rehab. contract term is November 26, 2014 – June 26, 2017.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitJusticeForAll Posted August 10, 2016 Share #17 Posted August 10, 2016 The New South Ferry station wont reopen until 2017. The for the last two weekends in August will go through the loop, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracamonte Posted August 12, 2016 Share #18 Posted August 12, 2016 I am an intern for commissioning at CPM at 2 Broadway. On wednesday, I went to a monthly meeting for South Ferry. They're eyeing for a June or July 2017 reopening. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracamonte Posted August 12, 2016 Share #20 Posted August 12, 2016 A bit off-topic, is it true that relations between the MTA and contractors tend to be rough? Cause I saw an example of that in Wednesday's meeting. Back on topic: I've noticed during my last field visit to South Ferry, the station canopies are much more different. They are no longer circular like they were when originally built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
