GOVERNOR Andrew Cuomo is accelerating construction on New York bridges and tunnels so that the work is complete before Amtrak begins emergency repairs at Pennsylvania Station next month.

The order will ensure that all major commuter crossings can be used without cash and all lanes open during the work at North America's busiest rail terminal, Mr Cuomo said n a statement on Monday. Major tunnel and bridge projects will be completed by July 8, he added. "We're taking every conceivable step to prepare for Amtrak's summer of hell," he said.
