The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and MTA Capital Construction are building a new Fulton Street Transit Center in the general vicinity of Fulton Street and Broadway, incorporating six existing Lower Manhattan subway stations:

Fulton St
Fulton St
Broadway-Nassau St
Chambers St-WTC
Fulton St
Cortlandt St

The $880 million project project will improve access to and connections between 12 subway lines for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters and Lower Manhattan residents and visitors, and will link NYC Transit facilities with PATH service and the World Trade Center site.

Construction of the Fulton Street Transit Center is underway and parts of the new station have already been opened for customer use. The project will be fully completed by mid-2009.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) proposes to modify staffing or to build, relocate or close entrances at eight subway stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. This includes elements of the Fulton Street stations, Broadway-Nassau St station and Cortlandt Street station.

On January 22, 2007, a new entrance to the uptown platform of the Fulton Street station opened at the southeast corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane. Customers can now enter and exit the subway a block south of the existing entrance at John Street, making access easier and reducing travel time from adjacent office buildings. A companion entrance to the downtown platform will open at the southeast corner of Broadway and Cortlandt St later this year.

Work has been completed on renovations to the station, including new platform surfaces, walls and lighting, mezzanine stairs, and a renovated entrance at the northeast corner of Fulton and William Streets. Future improvements as part of the Fulton Street Transit Center project will include the installation of platform and street elevators to improve subway access for the elderly and disabled.
