NYC is about to start congestion tolling in Lower Manhattan,using the EZ-pass toll media to attempt to control the amount of vehicles
on that part of Manhattan Island.
Everybody seems to forget it takes time to kill the wire and 3rd rail in the tubes and confirm it's off,then you need to make sure all
switches are set/blocking devises applied,and shunt jumpers between the rail before MW,B&B, and C&S crews can deploy to work
in the tube,then AFTER all the crews have finished what they can "band-aid" you need the crews and equipment clear,inspect that the track is clear.
and safe for traffic,then remove the shunt jumpers,remove the blocking devises on the switch controls then restore power to the 3rd rail and wire.
Figure on 2-3 hours to shut down and safe the tube for the work session,and 2-3 hours to bring the tube back online safely for traffic
Remember that kills up to 6 hours of the work session time in the tubes.
