Overview

Opened: 10/27/1904

Transfer here to: BMT Nassau Street-Jamaica Line, BMT Broadway Line

Local station with two side platforms alongside four tracks. Part of a large complex, transfer is provided here to the BMT Nassau St. and BMT Broadway subway lines. Due to platform lengthening in the 1950s, there are two distinct sections of this station. The original portion has tile covered I-beams with small name tablets and small "C" mosaics in tile band along tops of walls, and an ornamental ceiling. The new portion had 1950s green tile at the ends of the platforms, but a late 1990s-early 2000s renovation has replaced this with a uniform white tile along the whole platform wall. IND-type directional "To Canal Street" signs are also present.

Canal Street is a busy station in the vibrant Chinatown neighborhood.

Some relative depths of stations in the Canal Street complex are as follows, +/- 10 feet.

• BMT Broadway platforms, 40 feet below street
• BMT bridge line platform, 50 feet below street
• IRT subway platform, 20 feet below street
• BMT Nassau St. subway platform, 20 feet below street
