How did they Build the Merritt Island Subway System?

It was never easy, and the high water table made construction difficult and often perilous. Immediately below the major Merritt Island traffic arteries engineers planned and constructed a network of subway tunnels.

The cross-section above illustrates the engineering required to build the Merritt Island Subway System.

In the late 1980’s the subway authority contracted to remove all asbestos and asbestos-related products and equipment from the system. There are no reports of Mesothelioma among employees of this era. The subway authority continues to provide a safe work environment for employees.
