IBX Light Rail to Connect Brooklyn and Queens | New York City News

The Interborough Express is officially moving forward — a $5.5 billion light rail line connecting Brooklyn and Queens via existing freight corridors, slashing commute times to just 32 minutes between Bay Ridge and Jackson Heights. With 18 fully ADA-accessible stations, modern design, and upgrades to subway connections, this project promises transformative transit for hundreds of thousands. A draft environmental impact statement is on track for release by year’s end, followed by community feedback sessions — signaling serious momentum toward making this long-awaited dream a reality.
