New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday announced that the state will provide $54 million to support the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Second Avenue Subway expansion project, which calls for extending the Second Avenue Line to 125th Street in East Harlem.
The capital funding provided to the MTA will be earmarked toward utility relocation in Phase 2 of the expansion project, according to a news release from the governor’s office.
With the funding, the MTA can proceed with the work to relocate utility lines along Second Avenue and nearby streets.
Phase 2 will extend Q train service from 96th Street north on Second Avenue to 125th Street and then west on 125th Street to Park Avenue, approximately 1.5 miles in total.
There will be new stations at 106th Street, 116th Street and 125th Street, and a direct passenger connection with the existing 125th Street subway station on the Lexington Avenue subway line. Phase 2 will also feature an entrance at Park Avenue to allow convenient transfers to the Metro-North Railroad 125th Street Station.
