portals and the East River Tunnel Portals in Manhattan, existing PSNY and its associated tunnels, storage yards and support facilities, and the future Moynihan Station, to be housed in the Farley Building.

The Project will protect existing and planned critical facility electrical and life-safety equipment by reconstructing the entire north and south moats, install a waterproofing membrane, upgrade the drainage system, rehabilitate deteriorated steel, and reinforce and waterproof the existing concrete moat slab and sidewalk to protect existing and planned infrastructure investments for the long-term.
