Second Ave Subway Phase 2 Moves Forward | New York City News

The Second Avenue Subway’s long-awaited northward expansion is finally heating up—Governor Hochul has greenlit the MTA to seek bids for Phase 2, which will extend the Q train three more stops into East Harlem, culminating at 125th Street with direct access to four, five, six trains, and Metro-North. With a $7 billion price tag, this final phase could be the biggest contract yet, targeting award by mid-2027 and opening to riders by 2032. Tunneling begins in 2029, track work in older tunnels starts late 2027, and utility relocations are already underway—after nearly 100 years of waiting, New Yorkers are finally getting closer to their subway dream.
