Repair Status of 168th Street UWS 1 Station??

Is there any status report on the repair to the roof of the 168th Street Station on the 1 line??

Seems to me like the train-roof height cross pillars and wooden paneling have been in place extensively long and it's a shame a station of great architectural wonders remains hidden from view... (Yes, I know there were falling ceiling tiles, but, what (if anything!?) has been done to rectify this??)

I checked a few years ago and there wasn't any sign of it.

According to one of the TA's preservation people at the Transit Museum's talk A Lasting Legacy: Historic Preservation and the MTA on Tuesday night, 168th Street and 181st Street will be rehabilitated soon. Both are on the National Register of Historic Places. They are in the process of fabricating some kind of substitute material that will look like and replace the damaged brick.

My Dad remembered riding through these two stations on Hi-V Gibbs cars during the late 40s, when he was at Columbia Dental School....
he was riding history.

I rode through those stations in the 1950s on all types of Hi-Vs, Gibbs, Decks and Hedleys since 168 was my home station.

Does the mean the roof-like structure that obscures the true ceiling is temporary (sorry about any possible misunderstanding)?

I'm envious....! :)
if you ever come across or hear of a sound recording of these, please post or let me know.... thanks. (I think I've posted this before.)

I know that various people recorded Lo-V's in operation.
Thanks.
