NYC Second Avenue subway extension halted due to Governor Hochul's congestion pricing plan pause.
New York City's Second Avenue subway extension project to Harlem has been halted due to Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to indefinitely pause the congestion pricing plan, which would raise $15 billion for transit upgrades. The MTA needs the funds to modernize its over 100-year-old transit system and improve service. Governor Hochul has vowed to find funding for the project, but the MTA's top construction officer confirmed that work has been stopped on the $7 billion project.
