74th Street-Broadway (IRT Flushing Line station)
|
|
74th Street-Broadway is a local stop on the 7 line (Flushing Line) of the New York City Subway. It has two exits, both of which connect to the Independent Subway Queens Boulevard line via five long escalators: three at 73rd Street and two at 74th Street. The north mezzanine at 74th Street has a wood floor with windscreen on the stairs. The wood mezzanine has a rubberized floor and a booth with crossunder. The south exit at 73rd Street leads to a wooden mezzanine with wooden stair walls, no windows, and no booth (the booth being in the Independent Subway entrance at the street level). From the mezzanines there are 54 steps to the Independent Subway mezzanine. The canopy at the south end is different and appears to have been added later than the original canopy.
74 Street-Broadway is a main transfer point on the 7. This station allows transfers between the 7 and the Template:IND (NYCS) E, F, G, R and V at the underground Roosevelt Avenue-Jackson Heights station.
The 7 station is a typical local station, with 2 side platforms. There are two exits: the main at 74th Street, which also has an full-time entrance, and at 73rd Street. Both allow tranfers to/from the IND.
In recent years, the area has been under heavy construction. The stations have been under renovation, with construction on a new station building complete by 2005.
