Actually, if you notice, all of the IND second system lines were to be above the existing lines rather than below. That actually makes sense since at the time the IND was built, cut and cover was the primary construction method and it would have been easier to connect portions of new lines to a station structure above an existing mainline without disturbing the lines already in operation. Roosevelt upper, So 4 St, Utica, and the portion of the Worth St Subway at E Bway are all above the operating infrastructures. The station shell at 2 Av is also designed so that the SAS as originally planned would have been above the Houston St Line. |
