Planned Centre street subway loop changes detailed
The Public Service Commission proposes modifications to the Centre street subway loop linking the Brooklyn Manhattan and Williamsboro bridges. Changes raise head room to 14 feet 6 inches, eliminate some grades, reduce others, and may allow Long Island Railroad cars. The plan unites Leonard-Franklin and Howard-Grand stations, runs two double tracks with crossovers, and could connect to the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges with a Chambers street terminal. Construction time could cut while capacity rises about 2 percent.
