Northern Manhattan, 2011 - MTA NYC Transit's station overhaul program rolls on. With information taken from a press release, IRT #1-7th Avenue line stations are getting a much-needed face lift. The elevated stations between 242nd Street/Van Cortland Park terminal and Dyckman Street station are the targeted stations for rehab. Currently, passengers are being asked to use one of the following options to complete their trips: use the IND 'A' line towards the nearby 207 Street terminal, ride northbound past any affected station and take a southbound to their stop or use a free shuttle bus.
The stations which really haven't seen a major overhaul in decades are getting the required face lift with new canopies, platforms among other refurbishments. It seems that old man time has caught up with these stations.
My photos posted are of the northbound Dyckman Street station undergoing an upgrade.
