Junction Boulevard (originally Junction Avenue)[4] is an express station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue in Corona, Queens.[5] It is served by the 7 train at all times.[6]
History
This elevated station opened on April 21, 1917 as Junction Avenue, as part of a large extension of the Flushing Line from its previous eastern terminus at Queensboro Plaza to 103rd Street–Corona Plaza. It was part of the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation, albeit served by shuttles of IRT dimensions, and the two companies jointly operated the Flushing and Astoria Lines due to the provisions of the Dual Contracts. The station was renamed Junction Boulevard in 1940.[7]
The platforms at Junction Boulevard were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains.[8]
In 1981, the MTA listed the station among the 69 most deteriorated stations in the subway system.[9]
Station layout
Template:NYCS Platform Layout IRT Flushing Line Local Stations/express
This station has two island platforms and three tracks.[10] The two outer local tracks are used by the full-time 7 local service while the middle express track is used by the rush-hour peak direction <7> express service.[6] Both platforms have red canopies with green frames and support columns in the center and are narrower at either ends.
Exits
This station has one elevated station house beneath the platforms tracks. Four staircases from each corner of Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue go up to a mezzanine that has a token booth in the center and a turnstile bank on the east and west sides.[11] These turnstile banks lead to a crossunder and has a single staircase going up to each platform towards the west (railroad south) end.
This station was made ADA accessible in 2007, at the cost of $6 million. From the northeast corner of the intersection this station is located at, a single elevator goes up to an enclosed overpass above the platforms with an intermediate stop at the mezzanine.[12] The overpass has two HEET turnstiles and a gate that is automatically opened when a MetroCard is swiped at either turnstile. Inside, two elevators go down to the platforms, one for each. Previously, an "AutoGate" Reduced-fare MetroCard was required to open the gate.[13][14] An emergency staircase goes down to the Manhattan-bound platform and an employee-facility is on the Flushing-bound end of the overpass.
