Part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) overall plan to improve aging downtown subway stations was work to rehabilitate the landmark 4/5 Wall Street station which began in early 2006. The century-old station, distinct for its cast-iron entry structures, colorful mosaics, and wooden token booth, was restored to its original grandeur.
The structural roof repairs on the east side of Broadway also took place at the station, and were completed in December 2006.
The interior rehabilitation project was substantially completed in winter 2007/08.

The 4/5 Wall Street subway station structural rehabilitation took place in two phases. The first phase was completed on the west side of Broadway from May to mid-September 2006. Phase two began shortly after, and was completed in December 2006. Broadway and Rector Street are now repaved and open to traffic.
Working in phases, MTA crews also repaired the century-old 4/5 station’s roof and took special care restoring its landmarked elements (including original terra-cotta tiles) with the help of an on-site preservation specialist.
