President @MTA Construction & Development

[MTA News @MTANewsroom]

If you’ve been at Junius St station recently, you’ve seen the blue walls. Ever wonder what’s going on behind them?

C&D President Jamie Torres‑Springer takes you inside. With a new pedestrian bridge to Livonia Av (L), new elevators and extended platforms, and a brand-new mezzanine, Junius St is getting a full transformation. And in the future, the whole complex will connect to the Interborough Express (IBX), which happens to run right between the two stations.

Great event today at #MoynihanTrainHall today where @GovKathyHochul announced the start of @MTA’s RFP for the design and engineering to #TransformPennStation. Thanks to @GovMurphy, @ericadamsfornyc, @Amtrak, and @NJTRANSIT for joining today and their partnership in this project.

Proud to announce that we’re moving forward with a huge New York City transit project: the new Interborough Express 🚊

This line will connect Brooklyn and Queens, shaving time off commutes and making it easier to connect to subway lines across the route.

This morning Commissioner Rodriguez joined @MTA to unveil three new elevators and two new staircases at the 170 St subway station on Jerome Ave in #theBronx. The elevators allow the station to be accessible to all customers for the first time.

The Second Avenue Subway project is moving down the tracks! Just spoke with @SecretaryPete, who shared the good news that the project is moving into the engineering phase. Look forward to working with @MTA to deliver for the residents of East Harlem.

[Jamie Torres-Springer @JTorresSpringer]

Very excited to move forward with this transformative project at @MTA. Inter-Borough Express has potential to connect Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods to each other and across 17 subway lines. A game changer for almost 1M New Yorkers in walking distance and many more beyond!

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

We are going to take an old, unused, 14-mile long right-of-way and create the Inter-Borough Express: New rail service that will connect Brooklyn and Queens. 🚊
