New York State and MTA sue federal government for $58 million to fund Second Avenue Subways East Harlem extension, accusing the feds of breaking a prior contract and withholding funds since October. The project, valued at nearly $7 billion, aims to stretch the Q line from 96th Street to 125th Street, including new stations at 106th and 125th. Without the funds, the MTA risks delays in awarding the next big excavation contract. The funding freeze is due to the Department of Transportation reviewing MTA contracts with minority and women-owned businesses for diversity compliance. The MTA cites their recent victory stopping federal meddling in congestion pricing as a reason for their confidence in the lawsuit.
