The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York City Transit (NYCT) will complete upgrades, repairs and deep cleanings at 13 additional subway stations in the second quarter across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
The work is part of NYCT's Re-NEW-vations program. Since the program began in 2022, 75 stations have been upgraded.
"[Over the past two years], we’ve delivered cleaner stations, critical repairs and maintenance, and a heightened transit experience for customers across our system," said NYCT President Richard Davey in a press release.
During "Re-NEW-vations," stations are scrapped, primed and repainted; lightening fixtures are replaced with new LED lights and added in areas to brighten dark spaces; benches located on platforms and mezzanines are refinished for customer seating; and cracks are repaired and repaved to prevent tripping hazards.
Each station undergoes repairs specific to its location needs, including rebuilding and rehabilitating stairways, installing new draining systems to prevent flooding conditions during heavy weather events, performing comprehensive tile work and repairing track ceilings.
