First Week of Northbound Closure at 61st Street Woodside, Flushing Line Improvement Project

The next phase of the Flushing Line renewal project begun on Memorial Day, May 25, 2026. As mentioned in the previous videos, the northbound platform rehabilitation work involves closure of the northbound local track between 74th Street - Broadway and Queensboro Plaza. Basically the same as the previous long term change but on the northbound track. Here we'll go through the changes made to the southbound side of the station as well as a tour of the mezzanine area. Hopefully I can get more videos out before the end of the month (a bit eepy though lol).
