Smith-9th Reopens
After a two-year rehabilitation project, Brooklyn’s Smith-9 Sts Station reopened on Fri., April 26, 2013, restoring F and G service to the Red Hook, Gowanus and Carroll Gardens communities. The 79-year-old facility—the world's highest subway station at nearly 88 feet—underwent a ground up renewal over the course of 22 months. Work began in 2011 in conjunction with the rebuilding of the Culver Viaduct. (Photo: MTA New York City Transit / Marc A. Hermann)
