Northbound Service At Cortelyou, Beverley & Parkside Stations Returns Monday

Nora Whelan -

Earlier this week, we posted that rehabilitation of the northbound platforms at the Cortelyou, Beverley, and Parkside subway stations was set to wrap up in early or mid-November–but according to MTA spokesman Andrew Inglesby, plans are running ahead of schedule. He says:

Normal northbound service along the Brighton line will… resume on Monday, October 28, 2013 at 5:00 a.m. We are happy to bring back normal service for our customers… two weeks earlier than the original schedule.

Community Board 14 says some changes you’ll notice to northbound platforms include:

  • Replaced staircases and columns
  • Repair of cracks in concrete columns, walls and platform walls
  • Painting of platform ceilings and the exterior and interior of the station house
  • Painting of girders crossing all four tracks

Finally, Inglesby says work on southbound platforms will “most likely [take place] mid-February to mid-June.”
