The NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) welcomed two completely modernized elevators at the 3rd Avenue-149th Street subway station in the South Bronx on May 1. Contracted to Otis, work included full replacement of elevator cabs and associated equipment within the cab, shaft and pit; two new elevator head houses at street level; modifications to the shaft and pit needed to accommodate new equipment; replacement and modernization of all elevator machine room, electrical and mechanical equipment; and upgrade of the remote-monitoring equipment, intercom systems and cameras to enhance security and allow crews to respond quickly in the event of a malfunction. MTA Construction & Development President Jamie Torres-Springer said, “Bronx subway riders deserve modern and reliable accessibility features,” including at this station, which sees more than 10,000 daily riders. The MTA currently has elevator replacement projects underway in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
