46th Street-Bliss Street (IRT Flushing Line station)
|
|
46th Street's north exit of the New York Subway leads to 47th Street (with a crossunder during booth hours), the south exit to 46th Street. Both ends have slate blue tile walls, tons of plywood and tile floors. The station has recently been renovated with new lighting has been installed on the platforms. A new crossunder between directions has been built at the 46th Street side of the station.
46 Street-Bliss is the first station on the 7 that is on Queens Boulevard, New York City. All these stations are on the concrete viaduct that stretches from 48 to Van Dam Streets. Unlike the Roosevelt Avenue stations, which are steel framed, these stations are concrete.
46 Street/Bliss has two exits: the 24-hour main entrance/exit at 46 Street and the part-time at 47 Street. The 46 Street mezzanine has dual fare controls, and therefore has no free change between directions.
In 1998 the names Bliss, Lowery and Rawson signs were removed from the stations. In 2004, the names were re-added back onto the stations and subway map as part of a historical move.
