The renovation of Flushing’s LIRR station will be complete by the end of 2017, the MTA recently reported.
The $16.5 million project for the Flushing–Main Street station, located on Main Street and 41st Avenue, will include the installation of an elevator for each platform to make the station wheelchair- accessible as well as new staircases, platform railings, better lighting and improved safety measures.
“We completed the design work in May and now that the design is done, we are looking to award the construction contract by the end of 2015,” Aaron Donovan, an MTA spokesman, said.
