Reply to comment by neodymiumPUSSYmagnet in Burying Moses' biggest middle finger to the city? Plan to tunnel the BQE being discussed by scooterflaneuse

I can't find the detailed study (if it was done or just a prelim conceptual review) but it looks like they proposed 350-500 feet tunnel depth which maybe would clear the subway tunnels. I imagine they couldn't ignore these conflicts so maybe that was what led to this depth.

That's 35 - 50 floors below the ground, and you'd also need to add ventilation shafts, and emergency exits.

Article mentions emergency egress shafts, yes, says they would need 4k sq ft for it.
