Cortlandt Street subway station reopened November 25, 2009

On Wednesday, November 25th -- more than a month ahead of schedule -- the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will reopen the northbound platform of the Cortlandt Street R/W subway station at 3 p.m. The station was closed in summer 2005 while crews excavated for and built the structure of the Dey Street pedestrian concourse, which will link the Fulton Transit Center to the World Trade Center (WTC). That work was completed earlier this year, allowing crews to restore the northbound platform.

The Cortlandt Street southbound platform will remain closed as construction continues beside it in the WTC’s east bathtub. Depending on the progress there, that platform is planned to reopen in 2011.
