182nd–183rd Streets station

The 182nd–183rd Streets station is a local station on the IND Concourse Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by D train at all times except rush hours in the peak direction and the B train during rush hours.
== History ==
This station was built as part of the IND Concourse Line, which was one of the original lines of the city-owned Independent Subway System (IND). The route of the Concourse Line was approved to Bedford Park Boulevard on June 12, 1925 by the New York City Board of Transportation. Construction of the line began in July 1928. The station opened on July 1, 1933, along with the rest of the Concourse subway.
==Station layout==
This underground station has three tracks and two side platforms. The center track is used by the D express train during rush hours in the peak direction.
Both platforms have a Claret red trim line with a black border and mosaic name tablets reading "182ND-183RD ST." in white sans-serif lettering on a black background with a Claret red border. Below the trim line are tile captions in white lettering on a black background showing "182" in the south half of the station and "183" in the north half, similar to the arrangement at the 174th–175th Streets station. There are also directional tile captions below the name tablet mosaics.
Hunter green i-beams run along the platforms at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black station name plate with white lettering.
===Exits===
The mezzanine used to be full length, but has been reduced in size. Because of this, the station's name is a misnomer. Crossovers between the two directions are allowed only from the northernmost set of stairs. The only open exits are at all four corners of 182nd Street and Grand Concourse. A gated-off passageway on the north end of the mezzanine lead to a former booth and exits to all four corners of 183rd Street.Street View of 1940s New York: Former northwest exit at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseStreet View of 1940s New York: Former northeast exit at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseStreet View of 1940s New York: Former southeast exit at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseStreet View of 1940s New York: Former southwest exit at East 183rd St and Grand Concourse The stairs have been sealed on street levelGoogle maps: northwest corner at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseGoogle maps: northeast corner at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseGoogle maps: southeast corner at East 183rd St and Grand ConcourseGoogle maps: southwest corner at East 183rd St and Grand Concourse as early as 1996.

After the hearings took place in February and March the same year, these exits were completely shuttered after June 1989 and the stairs were also sealed on street level.Google maps: southwest corner near Anthony Ave and East 181st StGoogle maps: southeast corner near Anthony Ave and East 181st St However, the entrance structures remained on street level as early as June 1994.
