It’s a rare sight indeed, but construction workers at the Avenue V subway overpass were photographed working earlier today. The work at Avenue V is part of the[ rehabilitation projects at the Gravesend Neck Road and Avenue U train stations](/neck-rd-avenue-u-station-changes/) that started almost exactly one year ago. The work on this side was scheduled to be finished by now and construction on the Manhattan-bound tracks are next. But, unsurprisingly, work has been delayed and now the [MTA says work on the Coney Island-bound side will finish by “Early 2010.”](/ave-u-gravesend-stations-delayed-no-surprises/)

Regarding the overall project affecting the entire line this side of Prospect Park, **the MTA has not yet responded to our leaders’ requests for more information**. Politicians and organizers for the area [met with MTA officials in October](/carl-kruger-scolds-mt/) to ask for alternatives to the work and guarantees of the timetable. MTA told them they would be in touch *in a few days* after they had gathered relevant data. Sheepshead Bites is offering $100,000 (in Monopoly money) to anyone who can snag a photo of an MTA executive at work.
