Cut and cover construction was used to construct the tunnel. Construction began in 2005, with the closure of the Cortlandt Street station on the BMT Broadway line, which closed on Augand Dey Street proper. The contract for the construction of the passageway was given on Jto Slattery Skanska. The MTA also recently announced revised plans that extend the underground connector to the E platform at the WTC – stretching the project's $844 million budget for the benefit of downtown commuters.Ĭonstruction The head house in February 2012 Its creation will allow around 275,000 daily subway riders to transfer between the Fulton Street / Broadway – Nassau Street station's nine services to the N, R, and W at Cortlandt Street and the World Trade Center (WTC) PATH station. Since the beginning, the concourse has been an essential part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)'s Transit Center plans. It also connects to the other World Trade Center buildings, as well as a new passageway to the World Financial Center. Furthermore, the passageway directly connects to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, the connection to which opened in the World Trade Center site in May 2016. An unpaid passageway allows non-passengers to move throughout Lower Manhattan without having to cross those streets. The MTA's decision to disallow a paid transfer was on the premise that Broadway and Church Streets are critical north–south streets. The Fulton Center design changed very frequently during planning, but after much analysis, it was decided that a 40-foot (12 m) wide tunnel was to be built under Dey Street, without a paid transfer between the Fulton Street complex and the Cortlandt Street station. Various configurations within the Fulton Center main building were also planned, including a diagonal link between a tunnel under Dey Street and the A and C trains mezzanine in the Fulton Center transit hub. These alternatives included a pedestrian tunnel, with a paid transfer, under Fulton Street. At the end of the passageway is the "Oculus", the headhouse of the WTC Transportation Hub.ĭuring the planning stage of the Fulton Center project, there were numerous alternatives for a passageway connecting Church Street and the Fulton Street complex. The section to the WTC Transportation Hub, which was opened on May 26, 2016, is at this end. Concept Inside the passageway, facing Cortlandt Street.
