Those stations are:įurther down the timeline, the Penn Station Access project, which will enable Metro-North trains to run to Penn Station via the New Haven Line, will bring four new ADA-compliant Metro-North stations and new transit service to the East Bronx in 2027.
The MTA expects to award ADA station upgrades for seven more stations in the Bronx as part of the 2020-2024 Capital Plan. Currently, six Bronx stations are undergoing elevator construction, one of which is expected to be completed later this year, Tremont Av B, D. This station opening is the latest example of the MTA’s investment in station accessibility across the Bronx. “With 29 additional stations currently under construction and dozens more to come as part of the historic 2020-2024 Capital Program, we are well on our way to delivering the fully accessible system riders deserve, perhaps even sooner than projected.” “Once again, the MTA is proving it’s moving 100 miles an hour when it comes to ADA accessibility – completing project after project five times faster than ever before,” said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. As part of the ADA work, three stairways were replaced and the station is slated to receive additional renovations, including new lighting, platform edges, ventilation, water intrusion remediation, and other state-of-good-repair work. This is the fifth accessible station to open this year, following Court Square G station in Queens, Dyckman St 1 station in Upper Manhattan, and 8 Av N station and Grand St L station in Brooklyn. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced the opening of two elevators at E 149 St 6 subway station in the Bronx, making the station fully accessible.
