On May 22nd The New York Times reported that “creating a Long Island Rail Road link to the East Side of Manhattan will take six years longer to accomplish than originally expected and will cost nearly $2 billion more than the initial estimate, Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said Monday.” The updated project estimate means the link will not be completed until “August 2019, and officials put the cost at $8.24 billion, up from an estimate of $6.3 billion in 2006.” The US Department of Transportation Inspector General announced last week that he will launch an investigation into the Federal Transit Authority’s oversight of the East Side Access project”.
