MTA’s latest Smith-9th station promise: It will reopen by April
The MTA confirmed that it intends to renew service at the long-dormant Smith/9th Street Station by April 2013, according to Carroll Gardens Patch.
The station was closed in June 2011 for the renovation of the Culver Viaduct, which spans the Gowanus Canal and supports the station.
Work has been plagued by numerous delays. “The contractor is behind schedule on this project due to problems with sub-contractors and the challenges associated with the unique design of the station,” the MTA told the Brooklyn Eagle last month. “We are holding the contractor to the terms of the contract.”
