Bedford Park Boulevard Station has now been upgraded following SYSTRA’s contract
 as consultant construction manager (CCM), for which we oversaw the construction
of three new elevators at the station on the B and D subway lines. 

> Congratulations to the NYCT and to the SYSTRA team on this important project
> to make this station accessible, safer, and more convenient for all
> passengers. We are proud to be helping NYCT expand accessibility of its subway
> system
> Joseph Ligon, PE, who led the CCM team on this project.

### Contributing to a bigger plan for New York’s transportation 

In line with NYCT’s Fast Forward Plan launched in 2018, SYSTRA is a major
contributor to the modernization of the New York subway, especially in the case
of ADA upgrades.

In addition to winning the Bedford Park Boulevard Station project in 2018, we
were awarded contracts for ADA accessibility at Greenpoint Avenue Station in
Brooklyn, the Gun Hill Road Station, Dyre Avenue Line in the Bronx and, the
following year, the ADA Upgrade at 149th Street Grand Concourse Station Complex 
and the IRT lines 2, 4 and 5, and in 2020 the Tremont Avenue Grand Concourse
Station (B line).
