Fulton Street Transit Center « back

 The future Fulton Transit Center main building 
The future Fulton Street Station main building
Work on the transit hub at Fulton Street began in early February 2005 -- the first steps on the way to a station that links 12 subway lines and the PATH, and will accommodate more than 300,000 riders daily.

The MTA announced in May 2009 that the transit center's main building will be built almost exactly as originally planned, thanks to an $424 million in federal stimulus funds. Other project elements -- including the Dey Street Concourse and headhouse, Corbin Building restoration and new entrances, and other station "rationalization" features within the station -- also are proceeding as planned.

The metal-and-glass main building will rise to four stories, topped with a roughly conical oculus that will funnel light into the station’s lower levels. The transit center, with a revised budget of $1.4 billion, is expected to open in 2014.
