NYC Transit's Renovations At E 180 Street In The Bronx Continue

The elevated junction station of the IRT's Dyre Avenue (#5) and White Plains (#2) lines is still under renovation. While the exterior looks the same, the interior and platform areas are undergoing complete renovation.

The platforms are being renovated with new sheathing/coverings and platforms. The concrete roadbed, stairways and passageway will be new when it's all done.


The symbol of the previous owner of the station, the defunct New York Westchester & Boston Railroad, is still evident at the station entrance. The center track is ripped up and the sheds are undergoing complete renovation. A southbound IRT #2 White Plains/Lexington Avenue line is picking up passengers and headed for Manhattan and Brooklyn.
