纽约7号线两车站维修延期五个月：总价升至2.54亿美元
纽约州皇后县纽约市皇后区7号线两个车站的维修工程将再延期五个月：大都会运输署11月1日公布的文件显示，完工时间由原定的10月20日推迟至明年3月，工程总价也升至约2.54亿美元。
受影响的是法拉盛方向站台位于52街站和69街站的区段。检查人员在支撑站台的钢梁上又发现22处老化损坏部位，不得不扩大施工范围，仅这一项新增工作就增加280万美元开支。此前工程合同原价为2.17亿美元，历次变更已累计增加3450万美元，最新调整后总价达到2.544亿美元，比原价高出约17%；运输署文件称，涨价原因包括施工顺序调整的直接成本以及长达十个月的工期影响成本。
自今年5月以来，法拉盛方向列车一直越站通过上述两个车站，乘客只能改乘其他交通方式或绕行；越站安排如今将至少持续至明年1月。运输署表示，新增的钢梁修复是保障站台结构安全的必要工作，工程团队将继续按调整后的工期推进，争取明年3月恢复正常停靠。

NYC 7 Line Station Repairs Extended Five Months as Price Tag Soars to $254 Million
Repairs at two stations on New York City's 7 line in Queens, New York, will take five more months: Metropolitan Transportation Authority documents released November 1 show completion pushed from October 20 to next March, with the project's price tag rising to about $254 million.
The affected segment is the Flushing-bound platforms at the 52nd Street and 69th Street stations. Inspectors found 22 more deteriorated sections in the steel beams supporting the platforms, forcing an expanded scope of work; the added work alone costs $2.8 million. The contract originally cost $217 million; earlier changes had already added $34.5 million, and the latest adjustment brings the total to $254.4 million, about 17% above the original price. The MTA documents attribute part of the increase to resequencing costs and ten months of schedule-impact costs.
Flushing-bound trains have skipped both stations since May, forcing riders to detour, and the skip-stop arrangement will now last until at least January. The MTA says the additional steel repairs are necessary for platform safety and that crews will work to the revised schedule toward a March completion.
