Gov. Kathy Hochul joined the acting MTA chairman and other elected officials Tuesday to tour the Second Avenue subway Phase 2 tunnel.

The first phase goes from Midtown to 96th Street. The second phase will continue the Q subway line to 125th Street in Harlem.

The tunnels were built in the 70s for the line, but financial problems stalled the project. The MTA says money from the federal $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill would allow the construction to continue.

“Projects like the Phase 2 of the Second Avenue subway are no longer going to be talked about on the drawing board, but actually accomplished,” Hochul said. “We are very, very anxious and pressing the administration hard to grant our request, which is in the Department of Transportation to include the construction of three new subway stations at the 106th Street, 116th Street and 125th Street here in Harlem. As you can see, we are ready to go.”

The project is slated to cost more than $6 billion.

"We believe if we got the right signals from Washington we can be under construction in less than a year,” MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said. “Moving this thing forward we are going to do is differently, smartly, and hopefully more efficiently than some of the projects in the past.”

Representative Carolyn Maloney was among those who took the tour.

She told NY1's "Inside City Hall" the project would be a boon to her district.

"It's going to transform the neighborhood, not only in quality of life for the residents to be able to get wherever they want to get — to work or to events — but also the number of jobs it will bring in,” Maloney said. “And it will really connect to upstate. It's just a tremendous addition to our city."
