Good news for New Yorkers and visitors to New
York. The vast underground network of tunnels in New York City is the focus of a historic exhibition allowing visitors into a world unknown, featuring the much-discussed, but little understood, mega-projects bringing the Citys transportation infrastructure into the 21st Century. The exhibition, titled The Future Beneath Us: 8 Great Projects Under New York, is the result of a unique collaboration between The New York Public Library and the New York Transit Museum, custodian of the most extensive collection of urban transportation materials in the United States. The exhibit is in two locations in Midtown Manhattan: The Science, Industry and Business Librarys Healy Hall, at 188 Madison Avenue, and the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex and Store at Grand Central Terminal. The exhibition has been extended to November 1, 2009. Admission is free. The Science, Industry and Business Library has
drawn on The New York Public Librarys impressive resources in an exhibit focusing on
the construction of City Water Tunnel #3, a 60-mile water tunnel from the Catskills to New
York City; the massive water filtration plant being built in The Bronxs Van
Cortlandt Park; the new Trans-Hudson Express (THE) Tunnel, which will double rail capacity
between New York City and New Jersey; and the transportation and infrastructure
undertakings at the World Trade Center Site. New York Citys transit and vast
infrastructure are key focuses in the collections at SIBL, said John Ganly,
Assistant Director for SIBL Collections. Our ability to document the past allows for
a unique perspective into the future. We welcome the opportunity to present a joint
exhibit with the New York Transit Museum on current efforts that impact the development of
our great City." The two exhibitions are located just 9 city blocks apart, each in a historic landmarked building Grand Central Terminal and the former Altmans department store that now houses The Science, Industry and Business Library. In addition to including current status and design information, the exhibit illustrates the future impact these projects will have on the quality of life and economic and social well-being of New Yorkers. Combined, these mega-projects comprise the greatest infrastructure advancements seen in generations. This joint exhibit will speak to experts and laymen alike.
