Bens photos illustrate the magnanimity of the Grand Central Project. It went on for about 10 years and construction was undertaken while trains continued to operate and use the terminal. When enough of the new depressed station facility was completed, it was put into operation and the construction actibity moved westward on the site. It was indeed a remarkable engineering and construction feat of Modern times. The last photo is interesting as it shows the Park Ave roadways and the bridges used for the crosstown streets .These are still in place today even though the entire terminal area is below ground and covered over.
