A notice to contractors published last week shows the MTA still needs to complete 'miscellaneous remaining work' at the station, which opened in January 2023 after more than a decade of delays.
The agency issued a notice last week seeking contractors to complete “miscellaneous remaining work” on the terminal, including the “installation and modification of the fire alarm system elements, modifications of doors and access control devices” and adding security cameras in the space.
“The MTA did, as promised, open Grand Central Madison at the start of 2023 after years, and even decades, of efforts to start Long Island Rail Road service to the East Side had been postponed,” Flores said in a statement. “This is a fully operational facility with all the relevant permits and systems in operation. If somewhere there is a dent in some of the cladding that needs to be fixed l’m sure we’ll get to it,” Lieber said in January.
The MTA first began planning the project in 1997, with the goal of bringing LIRR service to Manhattan’s East Side through a brand new station set 15 stories beneath Grand Central Terminal. When it was planned in the late 1990s, the MTA expected the project to cost $2.8 billion to complete. Federal records show the final price tag was upwards of $11 billion.
