Subway station destroyed on 9/11 finally ready to reopen
The No. 1 line’s Cortlandt Street subway station is set to reopen for the first time since 9/11, paying special homage to the tragedy by including incorporating “World Trade Center” into its name, according to photos and workers.
The lower Manhattan stop — once located in the shadow of the Twin Towers — also will feature a touching mosaic inscription.
Artist Ann Hamilton said she took phrases such as “freedom of thought’’ and “progress and better standards of life’’ from the United Nations’ Declaration of Human Rights and the Declaration of Independence for the work.
The station, which was destroyed by the falling towers, will reopen in the fall after a 17-year construction effort.
