Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, and MTA Chief Development Officer Janno Lieber tour the nearly completed civil construction of the East Side Access Project – the MTA’s megaproject connecting the Long Island Rail Road to a new 350,000-square-foot passenger terminal under Grand Central Terminal. This is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years. The new connection will double the LIRR’s capacity into Manhattan with up to 24 trains per hour and cut travel time for Queens commuters by 40 minutes per day. (Kevin P.
