One of the most expensive and challenging construction projects currently underway in the U.S. is New York City's Second Avenue Subway. NRMCA Producer member Ferrara Bros., among other companies, has supplied ready mixed concrete for the project. The project has actually been discussed by city planners for nearly 100 years and construction began decades ago, only to be shelved for funding reasons. In the past decade, however, work resumed in earnest. When completed - and native New Yorkers aren't holding their breath that the 2016 completion date will be met - the subway will be the city's first new one since 1932.
