Essex Street Provisional Platforms
Some of the staircases lead to an intermediate level. This level was supposed to be a station of the unbuilt IND Worth Street Line. Behind a locked door, located in the north end of the mezzanine, the floor drops to the level of the intended trackways for the unbuilt Worth Street Line. The unused space runs for no more than fifteen feet to a solid wall. Near the north end of this station, a different ceiling structure angling across marks where the unbuilt subway would have gone. The ramp that descends from the full-time side would have led to the same intermediate level, with a station facility in between, but that was never constructed.
