Kingsbridge Road is an express station on the IND Concourse Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the D train at all times and the B train during rush hours only. It has three tracks and two island platforms.
The station has one mezzanine above the platforms and another below them. The full-time entrance is at 196th Street on the north end and contains two street stairs and one stair to each platform. The part-time entrance is at Kingsbridge Road on the south end and contains three stairs to the lower mezzanine with exits to the streets via two stairs to each side of the Concourse or Kingsbridge Road underpasses. However, prior to a booth operation switch in 1990s, the part-time side was at the current full-time side and vice-versa. There are two now closed additional exits still visible on the south side of Kingsbridge Road.
The tile band in this station is Marine Blue and vent chambers are also present. Strange white walls exist at both platform staircases to the Kingsbridge Road exit. It is not known why they were built.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
