Queensboro Plaza is an elevated New York City Subway station over Queens Plaza, at the east (Queens) end of the Queensboro Bridge, with Queens Boulevard running east from the plaza. It is currently over only the south (railroad east) side of the roadway, but used to span the whole plaza. The current configuration is a double-decked station, with northbound trains on the upper level and southbound trains below. The BMT Astoria Line (which to the south joins with the 60th Street Tunnel Connection and heads through the 60th Street Tunnel to the BMT Broadway Line) uses the two tracks west (compass north) of the platforms and the IRT Flushing Line uses the east two tracks. There is a double crossover north of the platform on the upper level; this is one of a few track connections between the IR

| - Queensboro Plaza is an elevated New York City Subway station over Queens Plaza, at the east (Queens) end of the Queensboro Bridge, with Queens Boulevard running east from the plaza. It is currently over only the south (railroad east) side of the roadway, but used to span the whole plaza. The current configuration is a double-decked station, with northbound trains on the upper level and southbound trains below. The BMT Astoria Line (which to the south joins with the 60th Street Tunnel Connection and heads through the 60th Street Tunnel to the BMT Broadway Line) uses the two tracks west (compass north) of the platforms and the IRT Flushing Line uses the east two tracks. There is a double crossover north of the platform on the upper level; this is one of a few track connections between the IRT and IND/BMT, and is the only connection between the IRT Flushing Line and the rest of the Subway system. It is served by: Q and 3 at all times and the R part-time The mezzanine, located below the lower level (and formerly connecting to the torn-down BMT platforms to the west), there is a concrete ramp across Queens Plaza North to the second floor of a building. The station is currently being renovated by NYCTA employees (as opposed to an outside contractor). A computer assisted tower is being installed on the south end. (A traditional tower is already present, but will be renovated with new machinery.) The station is wheelchair accessible for cross-platform (same direction) transfers only.
