The station's exits are at the western end by Northern Boulevard and Broadway. Fare controls are at platform level and there are no crossovers or crossunders. The booth on the southbound side is full time. Each fare control area has one street stair. There are closed exits at the eastern end on both sides.
The IND "56th Street" direction tile and arrow are left intact on both platforms under the "Northern Blvd" tablet. There are heavy columns across one part of the station, where the New York Connecting Railroad to the Hell Gate Bridge crosses over. There is an older style wooden token booth in the mezzanine of the uptown entrance.
