Peek inside New York City's newest, and endlessly delayed, subway station

Peek inside New York City's newest, and endlessly delayed, subway station

In entirely expected news, the extension of the 7 line subway to Manhattan’s Far West Side has been delayed yet again. The New York Times reported that the new 34th Street station, which was scheduled to open by the end of 2013, and then by the summer of 2014, won’t actually be ready until July.

What’s the latest hold up? Well, apparently, the station’s diagonal elevator has been causing some problems, and the MTA still needs to test the fire alarm, communication system, escalators, ventilation fans, and third-rail power. So, a lot still needs to happen before the public can ride the rails. In the meantime, the MTA tucked some pretty pictures inside a recent report to its board to prove that it is making progress on the station—right, the station that was supposed to open in 2013.

Anyway, take a look below to see what New Yorkers will finally be able to enjoy this July, or whenever this thing opens.
