If you have ever tried to negotiate the frustrating trip from Manhattan to John F. Kennedy International Airport via public transportation, this enormous public works project currently under construction in New York City will interest you. When it’s completed in about five years, the $8.4 billion transit project will extend train service from the historic Grand Central Terminal to the Borough of Queens and to JFK significantly simplifying and shortening travel.

New York’s MTA recently released some amazing photos of the construction project by Patrick Cashin.
