How much did the reconstruction of 42nd Street Shuttle Reconstruction cost?

The 2019–2022 reconstruction of New York City’s 42nd Street Shuttle converted the corridor from three operating tracks to two, lengthened its platforms for six-car trains and installed new electrical, communication, signal and safety systems. The rebuilt layout increased capacity by about 20 percent and formed part of accessibility work at Times Square and Grand Central. EnTech reports a $132 million construction cost, while WSP reported a broader $230 million total budget; both figures are retained with their scopes kept separate.
