63rd Street Tunnel
63rd Street Tunnel

The 63rd Street Tunnel is a double-deck subway and railroad tunnel under the East River between the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens in New York City. Opened in 1989, it is the newest of the East River tunnels, as well as the newest rail river crossing in the New York metropolitan area. The upper level of the 63rd Street Tunnel carries the IND 63rd Street Line of the New York City Subway. As of 2021, the tunnel's lower level has never been used for passenger service, but is expected to carry Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains to a new train terminal under Grand Central Terminal, following the completion of the East Side Access project, scheduled for 2022. Construction of the 63rd Street Tunnel began in 1969, and the tunnel was holed through beneath Roosevelt Island in 1972. Completion of the tunnel and its connections was delayed by the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis and the upper level was not opened until 1989, twenty years after construction started. The lower level was not opened at that time because of the cancellation of the LIRR route to Manhattan. The tunnel was initially referred to as the "tunnel to nowhere" because its Queens end did not connect to any other subway line until 2001. Construction on the East Side Access project, which will incorporate the lower level, started in 2006. During construction, the lower level is being used to move materials between the work sites in Manhattan and staging areas in Queens.
