East Side Access (ESA) is a completed public works project in New York City that extended the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) two miles from its Main Line in Queens to the new Grand Central Madison station under Grand Central Terminal on Manhattan's East Side. Previously, the only Manhattan stop for trains from Long Island was Pennsylvania Station, on the west side of the island. The new station and tunnels opened with limited service to Jamaica station in Queens on January 25, 2023, before full service began the following month, on February 27. Built by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the project was originally scheduled to open in 2009 but was delayed by more than a decade. The estimated cost of the project rose over threefold from US$3.5 billion to US$11.1 billion as of April 2018, making it one of the world's most expensive underground rail-construction projects.
