Interborough to build cross over on Broadway branch
Frank Hedley general manager of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co told Commissioner Eustis that work will start within a week on a cross over between the 9th street and 1st street stations on the Broadway branch. The project lasts eighteen months to two years and requires Broadway vicinity near 101st street to be torn up with minimal traffic disruption. The upgrade should greatly increase subway capacity and was a condition for a $5 million mortgage approval. Henry B. Seaman said the Broadway Lexington route change would save the city about $200000 by using a four track Harlem River tunnel and shifting Bronx traffic from Park avenue to Mott avenue reducing damages claims.
