Grand Central Terminal, over a century old, is facing critical infrastructure failures due to years of water, salt, and chemical damage, risking catastrophic collapse.
Jamie Torres-Springer, head of construction at MTA, stated that the waterproofing on Park Avenue has failed, causing major structural concerns that need immediate attention.
The MTA warns that 98% of Metro-North trains utilize the crucial artery above and below Park Avenue, with any collapse having severe implications for safety and service.
Current construction work on the Park Avenue viaduct aims to replace components from 1893, highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure updates to prevent disaster.
