Construction Workers Lowering Main St.
-
Description
-
Main St. where Main St. and Lexington Ave. intersect was lowered as part of the urban renewal of downtown White Plains which began in the 1960s. It was lowered 12 feet for geometrical purposes - cars commuting in under the railroad tracks faced a steep hill and so the road was lowered to accommodate commuters. The project was complex as hardwire telephone cables had to be lowered also.
