Why we’re doing it
We’re replacing switches at 59 St-Columbus Circle on the lines, which allow trains to move between the express and local tracks and the 8 Av and 6 Av lines. These switches have reached the end of their useful lives and need to be replaced. New switches will enable us to deliver more reliable service to the over 500,000 riders who rely on these lines each day.
