Getting around while we replace the elevators at 181 St

Tips for how to get around during construction work at the 181 St 1 station.

While we work to replace the old elevators, the 181 St 1 station will be closed.  

Here are different options you have to get around while the station is closed:

  • M3: to and from 168 St or 191 St
    • On weekdays the M3 operates every 6-10 minutes on St. Nicholas Ave. 
    • Overnight, the M3 operates every 20 minutes while the subway is closed. 
    • We will monitor service and add additional M3 buses between 168 St 1 and 191 St 1 when needed.
  • M101: For those headed to/from locations on Amsterdam Ave, the M101 provides service 24/7 with weekday frequencies between 8 and 11 minutes.
  • Use service at 181 St station on Fort Washington Ave (now with new elevators!)
