The construction is one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects undertaken in the United States in recent years, according to the MTA. The MTA has not put an exact date for when passengers can expect to first use the new terminal that is actually below the original Grand Central, but said it will be before the end of 2022, and that it could save LIRR riders 30 minutes on commutes. So when will the new, expensive expansion be opening? Torres-Springer said the transit authority is targeting a January debut. Given the logistics of concluding testing and launching service, we have advised MTA Chair Janno Lieber that the terminal will not open this week," a statement from Torres-Springer said. One particular zone in the 700,000 square-foot terminal requires additional work that will take more than a few days. "As was described at the MTA Board meeting last week, the opening of Grand Central Madison and Long Island Rail Road GCM service is contingent on the conclusion of system testing, in line with our commitment to safety. That's because the safety system testing has not yet been completed, according to Jamie Torres-Springer, the president of MTA"s construction and development. Looking to take Long Island Rail Road in to New York City's newest commuter train station for the holiday season? Well, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.ĭespite the longtime promise of opening in December, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said that Grand Central Madison won't be debuting on time after all.
