Posted by HANDBRAKE on Wed Apr 25 23:56:06 2012, in response to Latest Bleecker St. Station (IRT) Update - 4/23/2012, posted by William A. Padron on Mon Apr 23 10:34:14 2012. The double wide stairway from the NB #6 platform is in. The contractor is installing handrails, and steel treadles on the stairway steps. The stairways leading down to the IND platforms are in, and about completed. with exception to ADA elevators, the connection is about done.Interesting fact is that the IND transfer area under the IRT RoW, and under the NB #6 platform has original IND construction. I recall prior to the last station rehab, the south end platforms of Bway Lafayette having mid level Mezzanine walkways located between the station columns that eventually met a blocked off stairway at the south end of the station. The southern mezzanine, and stairs have been closed off for as long as I can recall, at least from the early 1960's, and may have have once connected to a mezzanine south of the IRT with stairs up to the surface. Without a pre-1990's rehab station diagram it is pure conjecture. |
