The New York Transit Museum and the New York Public Library join forces to present a two-location exhibition about New York City's underground infrastructure initiatives in the 21st Century. Examining the magnitude and historical context of eight massive building projects, the exhibition provides New Yorkers a behind the scenes glimpse at their changing city and how these improvements will affect their lives.

Projects explored at the Transit Museum are the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's four megaprojects:

  • the Second Avenue Subway
  • the extension of the 7 subway line
  • East Side Access
  • Fulton Street Transit Center

At the Library, viewers can learn about:

  • New Jersey Transit's new Trans-Hudson Express tunnel
  • transit hub beneath the World Trade Center site, spearheaded by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
  • the New York City Department of Environmental Protection's Third Water Tunnel
  • NYC DEP's new water filtration plant under Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx
