caption_attribution_description: On Saturday, July 30, workers replaced sections of the LIRR's Atlantic Avenue Viaduct at the Nostrand Avenue Station. The rehabilitation includes the strengthening and repair of existing column bases; complete replacement of the existing steel superstructure from mid-column upward, utilizing the existing column bases; installation of a new, improved track structure, complete painting of the structure and the installation of new and improved lighting under the viaduct. This is Phase 3 of LIRR's four-phase rehabilitation and replacement of the viaduct and the Nostrand Avenue station. The viaduct, which was built in 1901, carries 25,000 people per weekday between Jamaica and downtown Brooklyn. Photo by Metropolitan Transportation Authority / Patrick Cashin.
context_page_description: Nostrand Avenue is an elevated station on the Long Island Rail Road's Atlantic Branch in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Trains leave every 12–15 minutes during peak hours and 30 minutes during off-peak hours until 11 p.m.
  Despite being a commuter rail stop, the station resembles a typical elevated New York City Subway station. Before the renovations began in 2018, the station featured white-on-black signage as found on the subway. They have since been replaced with black-on-white signage as seen at all other LIRR stations. Though originally built in 1877, the current elevated station was built between 1903 and 1905.
