Jamaica IS Dual Contract..at least the " rebuilt" portion over Broadway and Jamaica ave..
The portion over Fulton st..is original Kings County Elevated,that has been enhanced to handle steel cars..rebuilt by the Transit Authority..then modified again by the MTA..

The intended plan to reroute the J line directly alone Jamaica ave..[the changed to Ridgewood ave] new express stations/service along Jamaica ave ,was constantly fought off by NIMBY'S during the 50's and 60's..

So nothing was done..except the changes to the outer end..and even that was a never completed.

The J will never change.
