FWIW, even newer parts of the NYC system aren't getting bypass capability -- the initial portion of the second avenue subway will be double-tracked when it opens in a few years; they even cut out a planned storage track (which could at least have been used to get disabled trains out of the way) to save construction costs.

I can almost guarantee that if you add up lost productivity over the next 50, 100 or whatever n years, the loss in monetary value will be far greater than the construction costs amortized over the same period.
