Fulton Street Transit Center finally sort of on time

Few projects symbolize the frustration of major public works in New York City quite like the Fulton Street Transit Center. Planned as a post-9/11 revitalization project for Lower Manhattan, the Transit Center was originally supposed to be completed by 2007, but when federal funds dried up in the mid-2000s, the project languished. It will be finished in 2014 and at a cost of $1.4 billion, nearly twice as much as originally projected.
