installs elevators at Queensboro Plaza to make the station accessible under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
7 train riders from further in Queens will be able to transfer to the N or W trains at Queensboro Plaza to head into Manhattan, while Long Island City residents can also take the E, F, M, or R trains at other stations in the neighborhood. Free shuttle bus service will operate along the 7 corridor from Queensboro Plaza to Vernon Boulevard and from Times Square to Hudson Yards, while the W train will be activated for weekend service.
The weekend outages will enable the MTA to get to work on installing two elevators at the above-ground Queensboro Plaza —— with one connecting the street and mezzanine level and another connecting the mezzanine to the platforms, allowing New Yorkers with disabilities access to the station. “The improvements coming to Queensboro Plaza will greatly benefit tens of thousands of riders,” said NYC Transit President Richard Davey in a statement. “Accessibility is such an integral part of mass transit, especially for a city like New York where mass transit is essential for many. When complete, the project will provide critical accessibility upgrades, security updates, and customer experience improvements throughout the station.
