美國紐約阿斯托里亞地鐵站的新電梯投入使用

據《紐約郵報》在7月24日的報道，經過數月的工作，紐約皇后區阿斯托里亞的阿斯托里亞大道N/W地鐵站的數臺電梯設備已經投入運營。州議員邁克爾·吉安娜瑞斯（Michael Gianaris）宣布該四臺電梯正式啟用，其中兩臺連接街道和夾層樓，兩臺連接夾層樓和月臺，他還稱贊這項工作是“邁向所有乘客的一步”。該車站曾于2019年3月關閉，進行了大翻新，包括拆除和重建夾層樓。當車站于2019年12月重新開放時，電梯工程一直持續到今年7月。自2017年以來，紐約大都會運輸局（MTA）一直在維修整個阿斯托里亞N/W線，重點是軌道和車站內部。

ASTORIA SUBWAY STATION'S NEW ELEVATORS PUT INTO SERVICE

After many months of work, new elevators are now operational at the Astoria Boulevard N/W subway station in Astoria, Queens, New York, the Astoria Post reported on July 24. State Senator Michael Gianaris announced the opening of the four elevators — two each from street to mezzanine and mezzanine to platform — and lauded the work as “a step forward for all transit passengers.” The station was shut down in March 2019 for a major renovation that included demolishing and rebuilding the mezzanine. While the station reopened in December 2019, work on the elevators continued until July. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been repairing the entire Astoria N/W line since 2017, with work focusing on both its tracks and station interiors.
