Previous: High Street/Brooklyn Bridge
Continue from here via: IND 6th Avenue, IND Fulton, IND Crosstown

Jay Street/Borough Hall Station · Opened 2/11/1933

Express station with two island platforms and four tracks. 8th Avenue/Fulton service is on the "express" track and 6th Avenue service (from/to the York Street station and Rutgers St. tunnel) is on the "local" track. Tile band is blue and there is no name tablet. I-beams are tiled southbound and painted blue northbound. A closed tower is on the south end of the southbound platform, and an active tower is at the north end of the northbound platform. The mezzanine, which was once open along the entire length and width of the station, is now very fragmented. The open portions feature improved lighting. From the mezzanine there is a closed passageway to Myrtle/Willoughby Ave. which was used for the old Myrtle Avenue Elevated transfer. There is a direct entrance to the NYCT administration building which is "guarded" by a Transit Bureau police station. Past Jay Street/Borough Hall, trains from 8th Avenue continue their journey onto the IND Fulton Street Line. Trains from 6th Avenue continue onto the IND Brooklyn-Queens Crosstown line and thence to the BMT Culver line to Coney Island.
