MTA Bringing Big Upgrades to Jay Street Substation

The MTA is rehabbing the Jay Street Substation at 212 Jay Street and building a new circuit breaker house next door for the A/C/F lines. Work on the existing structure, according to this project plan, “includes site preparation; exterior brick work; installation of roof walking pads; replacement of doors, frames, windows, guardrails and pipe railings; new emergency exit; repair of exterior/interior cracks,” among other upgrades. The new circuit breaker house is going in adjacent to 212 Jay Street and will have an upgraded power system and new control system for the subway lines. Work on the $34.6 million project should wrap in the first quarter of next year. GMAP
