To the relief of local residents, the regular southbound subway service of the Jerome Avenue No. 4 train at the Mosholu Parkway station reopened ahead of schedule on Friday, Nov. 9.
To make improvements on the line, the city closed the southbound side of the Mosholu Station on Aug. 13. The rehab project included adding a new mezzanine, installing new platform floors, canopy roofs, fluorescent lights, windscreens and making electrical upgrades to the system.
In a press release, New York City Transit said the entire project station is not yet complete. Workers are still planning on installing new interior and exterior wall panels, doing some painting, and installing glass artwork in the platform windscreens. The long-closed southern entrance to the station will also eventually reopen.
Although both sides of the line are currently open, there may be some delays on the weekend when the work requires service to be diverted. NYC Transit expects the entire rehabilitation of the Mosholu Parkway station to be completed on schedule next summer.
