The Dey Street Passageway or Dey Street Concourse is an underground passageway in Manhattan, New York City, as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Capital Construction Program and as part of the Fulton Center project to rehabilitate the Fulton Street complex and improve connectivity in Lower Manhattan.〔(After an Earlier Delay, the Fulton Street Transit Center Finally Rises )〕 The Dey Street Passageway lies under Dey Street in Lower Manhattan between Broadway in the eastern end, and Church Street in its western end. The Dey Street Passageway is part of a greater east-west corridor between the Seaport District and the World Financial Center and Battery Park. ==Concept== During the planning stage of the Fulton Center project, there were numerous alternatives for a passageway connecting Church Street and the Fulton Street complex.

An unpaid passageway would allow non-passengers to move throughout Lower Manhattan, without having to cross those streets. Furthermore, the passageway is planned to directly connect the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, which will open in the World Trade Center site in 2015, as well as the other World Trade Center buildings, and a new passageway to the World Financial Center.〔(Dey Street Passageway Walking West )〕 However, due to budgetary concerns, the tunnel width had been rescaled from to .〔(Hollowing Out the Dey Street Concourse )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dey Street Passageway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
