The ramp itself was built to a point just short of Jamaica Ave as early as 1982. Construction of the connector began in April 1985, right after service was cut back from Queens Blvd.





The el structure was demolished for another block west to a point where the existing structure was level with the new ramp. This was completed by the end of 1986.

The Archer Ave line was originally scheduled to open in 1983, then 1984. I seem to remember reading in the newspaper shortly afterwards that the federal government forced the MTA to open it in 1988 because they were dragging their feet.
