- toomuchtodo 10mo agoStill a bit more to go. Hopefully they offer some tours of the final phase before it’s flooded and no longer accessible for decades. > The Bronx and Manhattan already receive water from it, and the final phase — extending service to Brooklyn and Queens — is expected to be completed by 2032.
- senordevnyc 10mo agoI live in NYC, and I'd love a tour like this. Are there other of these kinds of civil engineering tours out there?
- toomuchtodo 10mo agoThe one that made me think of this is Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel in Kasukabe, but I’m sure there are others. If you find a list of civil engineering tours available, please share!
