Or, maybe this is a shot of the tunnel's demolition and they've just removed the framing.

Oh hey, look what I found in Google Books:
A 1916 article in a publication called Municipal Journal, in which the reconstruction of the Broadway Tunnel has just been completed. Pictures included!

And here's another article from 1917, with more photos!

Looks like Municipal Journal changed its name to Municipal Engineering in the interim.

Great photos/new info, PM & MR. I see that Lynn Atkinson was the contractor. Perhaps more famous for building his own legendary house:
