Photos of the Day: Inside New York's 2nd Avenue Subway Construction

After years of delay, construction on the 2nd Avenue subway has finally gotten under way. The MTA just released some new photos, but don't get too excited - the first phase of the project is scheduled to finish up some time in 2016.

Here are a couple more shots, thanks to Gothamist for bringing these to our attention.
