<P> The reconstruction work would be done in conjunction with a second project to add access to the Times Square complex . As part of the project, the eastern platform would be closed to public access, and the existing 43rd Street fare control area and two staircases would be closed and covered over . This entrance would be replaced by a new entrance with a twenty - foot wide stairway covered by a canopy . The staircase would lead from the shuttle mezzanine to street level, blocking portions of the station's original finishes . A new control area would be installed at the bottom of the stairway . To further increase capacity, 21 columns would be eliminated; other columns at the station would be thinned, requiring the underpinning of roof beams; and 142 columns in the concourse area would be relocated away from the car doors . This project would cost $28.93 million . </P> <P> In addition, the northern section of the original west platform wall dating from 1904 would be removed, and Jamestown, OTS, would build elevators connecting the station with an observation deck at One Times Square . The wall would be broken into sections and moved to the New York Transit Museum to mitigate the adverse effects of the station renovation . To further mitigate damage done to portions of the original station, certain features would be repaired and restored, including the original southwest platform and control area wall finishes, the original cast iron columns, the ceiling plaster ornamentation, and the cast iron guard rails . In addition, the east platform walls that are located within back - of - house space would continue to be protected . The damaged Knickerbocker marble lintel located at the west platform control area would be replicated . To reference portions of the original tracks located at Tracks 2 and 3, the granite paving for the shuttle platform would be modified with a veneer steel rail . These sixty - foot - long sections would be located on the new platform between Tracks 1 and 4 . Finally, a display case or plaque describing the history of the station will be installed underneath the replicated Knickerbocker lintel . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> 42 Street--Port Authority Bus Terminal ​ ​ </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> New York City Subway rapid transit station </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Downtown platform . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Station statistics </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Division </Th> <Td> B (IND) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Line </Th> <Td> IND Eighth Avenue Line </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Services </Th> <Td> A (all times) ​ C (all except late nights) ​ E (all times) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Structure </Th> <Td> Underground </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Levels </Th> <Td> 2 (lower level demolished) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Platforms </Th> <Td> 2 island platforms cross-platform interchange (upper level) 1 abandoned side platform (lower level) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Tracks </Th> <Td> 4 (upper level) 1 (lower level) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Other information </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Opened </Th> <Td> September 10, 1932; 85 years ago (1932 - 09 - 10) (upper level) August 25, 1952; 66 years ago (1952 - 08 - 25) (lower level) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Closed </Th> <Td> 1981 (lower level) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Station code </Th> <Td> 163 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Accessible </Th> <Td> ADA - accessible (passageway to other services not accessible) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Wireless service </Th> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Station succession </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Next north </Th> <Td> 59th Street--Columbus Circle (express): A 50th Street (local): A ​ C 50th Street (Queens Boulevard): E </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Next south </Th> <Td> 34th Street--Penn Station: A ​ C ​ E </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Next north </Th> <Td> 59th Street--Columbus Circle (8th Ave): A ​ C Lexington Avenue--53rd Street (Queens Boulevard): E </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Next south </Th> <Td> 34th Street--Penn Station: A ​ C ​ E </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> 42 Street--Port Authority Bus Terminal ​ ​ </Th> </Tr>
