NYC subway extension opens in Manhattan’s West Side
New York City’s first new subway station in a quarter-century opened Sunday, linking Times Square to a booming neighborhood on Manhattan’s far West Side at 34th Street.
“This is really a monumental day for the city,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told hundreds of guests at the inauguration for the gleaming No. 7 station that’s part of the transformation of a once-desolate industrial area.
The new stop is located at 34th Street and 11th Avenue.
