Work has finally started on a massive project to build four new Metro-North stations in the East Bronx, connecting Connecticut and Westchester County to Penn Station for the very first time. MKramerTV reports.
How many people did it take to break ground for the new Penn State Access project? Nine. Everybody wanted in on this long-awaited project that will be life-changing for commuters.
For the first time, commuters who live in Connecticut, Westchester and the Bronx can go directly to the West Side, instead of just Grand Central Terminal. It will dramatically cut the commute for about half a million people. The $3.1 billion project is getting a huge infusion of federal dollars from the Biden administration's infrastructure bill."Reduced travel time, greater job opportunities and a more resilient and interconnected regional rail network," said Schumer."Transit development equals community development."
