The Staten Island Tunnel is an abandoned, incomplete railway and subway tunnel in Staten Island, New York City.It was intended to connect railways on Staten Island (precursors to the modern-day Staten Island Railway) to the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, in Brooklyn, via a new crossing under the Narrows.
The tunnel will serve as a backup to Water Tunnel No. 1, completed in 1917, and Water Tunnel No. 2, completed in 1936. [1] Water Tunnel No. 3 is the largest capital construction project in New York City history. [2] Construction began in 1970. [3]
During construction, tunnel engineers touted the ventilation system as being so efficient that the ventilation towers could blow 25,000 short tons (23,000 t; 22,000 long tons) of clean air into the tunnel every hour. The system consists of 53 fans that each had a diameter of eight feet (2.4 m). [22] [23] [24]
