East Side Access

East Side Access is a major transit project in New York City designed to connect the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) directly to Manhattan’s East Side. This involves building new tunnels and a station beneath Grand Central Terminal. The project aims to improve transportation efficiency by providing quicker access for commuters traveling from Long Island to Midtown Manhattan, significantly reducing travel times and easing congestion. Once completed, it will enhance connectivity, support economic growth, and offer better travel options for millions of riders.
