[edit] 7 Avenue Refurbishment
As part of the 7th Avenue refurbishment project, the 6 Street Southwest platform was closed on April 7, 2008 to allow the construction of a new platform on its site, which can accommodate 4-car trains. The replacement station which was rebuilt on the same location opened on March 27th, 2009. A new 7th Street SW station has been constructed one block east of the previous station. It was opened on February 27, 2009[3], at which time the previous station was closed, and was demolished by late March 2009.
