Public transit projects are now the monumental undertakings of twenty-first century America, driven by the immense investments of time and money required for their completion.
For instance, the Second Avenue subway in New York cost $4.45 billion and was proposed 97 years before its first phase opened in 2017, reflecting the protracted nature of contemporary construction.
Similar lengthy undertakings are seen in historical projects, such as the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, which required nearly 200 years for its completion and just recently reopened after extensive restoration.
The construction saga of the Sagrada Família began in 1882 and is estimated for completion in 2026, excluding the potentially ongoing ornamentation, which could extend until 2034.
