They also used it when the Williamsburg Bridge was closed to train traffic several years back and shuttle buses were used. IIRC, they actually built makeshift station entrances and people would descend stairways and a short ramp which still had the wooden bannisters and old mezzanine equipment. You then used the underpass to go to the uptown platform to catch the train. Once the train service resumed, they removed the entrance structures and put the current emergency entrances. It's also possible they completely covered one or more stairs with concrete. Occasionally, they open the entrances when workers need to bring stuff down there. |
