Brooklyn’s Broadway Junction subway station is set to undergo a $500 million overhaul, with Mayor Eric Adams and MTA construction boss Jamie Torres-Springer announcing plans Tuesday to make the station fully ADA-accessible while creating 1 acre of public space around the hub.
The MTA is putting $400 million into overhauling the Broadway Junction Station — an East New York transit center where the A,C, J, Z and L lines all converge. The coming changes include accessibility-focused upgrades like installing seven new elevators, replacing all the escalators and adding a street entrance on the east side of Van Sinderen Avenue, according to Torres-Springer. The plan also includes structural improvements and a new coat of paint for the elevated train trestles.
