New York City - 2016 December 20

An exception to the cut-and-cover construction had to be used at Washington Heights which include the highest natural point in Manhattan at 81 metres (265 feet) above sea level. So the platforms here at 181st Street station on the

tunnelling construction was used. The line is reached by "three massive elevators" and and we have a wide space free of pillars.
