# NYCT ADA Upgrades at 149th Street – Grand Concourse Station Complex

![NYCT ADA Upgrades at 149th Street – Grand Concourse Station Complex](https://www.systra.com/usa/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/03/20200720_233544-scaled.jpg)

This project involved the design and construction of accessibility upgrades to
the 149th Street – Grand Concourse Station Complex, which is the fourth busiest
in The Bronx with nearly 4 million riders a year. Because of the complexity of
the multi-level station, multiple elevators were constructed to connect all
levels from the street to the lowest level.

SYSTRA coordinated the design and oversaw the construction of this work that
included restoration and preservation of historic landmark elements.

The stations remained open for public use throughout construction. SYSTRA worked
with the client and stakeholders while maintaining a safe work site, overseeing
adherence to environmental performance commitments, responding to unexpected
conditions, and working through construction sequencing and commissioning.
