I am what's considered the Cost Engineer for one of the largest privately owned construction companies in the US, J.F. Shea. I work in their tunneling division and am currently on the Manhattan portion of City Water Tunnel #3.
Currently, we're building 6-7 miles of tunneling around 600 feet underground, with 10 access shafts located throughout Manhattan. We'll finish our portion in 2009, and the tunnel will be in operation by 2020. Next stop, East Side Access.
