Governor Announces Four New Metro-North Stations in the Bronx

January 29th, 2019

Good news for east Bronx commuters, the Governor this week announced that projects will begin on adding four new Metro-North stations with service into Manhattan. The new service will bring Metro-North trains over the Hell Gate Bridge into Queens and will merge with the LIRR’s route through the East River Tunnels into Manhattan and west to Penn Station. The new stations will be located in Hunts Point, Parkchester/Van Nest, Morris Park, and Co-Op City. The MTA’s 2015-2019 Capital Program contained the initial investment of $695 million towards the project, including $250 million in State resources will be provided through Empire State Development. The MTA is seeking additional funding in the 2020-2024 Capital Program to complete the project.
