The MTA is digging a new tunnel to address crowding on the Line 7 platform.
Agency crews are building a walkway and entrance, which runs from the 7 train platform at Grand Central Terminal to 42nd Street.
The $115 million project is halfway complete, and will be equipped with new stairs, both normal and escalators.
Although dynamite will be used to blow up the rocks to create space for the underground union, workers assure that the explosions will be relatively silent.
Train 7 will not suffer any suspension of service. However, the MTA agency says riders should expect some closures to occur when it comes time to repaint and repair areas of the platform.
Those responsible for the project believe that the project will be completed by the end of the year.
