The full-time side at the eastern (railroad south) end has two staircases from each platform going up to a crossover (the western ones go up to a ramp that leads to the main fare control area), where a turnstile bank and two exit-only turnstiles provide access to and from the station. This station has two fare control areas, one at either end. Renovations also added new old-fashioned light fixtures with modern sodium-vapor lamps in them, which are suspended on long rods from the high, vaulted ceilings. Renovations added looping maroon tile patterns at the mezzanine level, as well as the platform's floor pattern. The station's I-beam columns are painted maroon, alternating ones having the standard black station name plate with white lettering.
Small black tile captions reading "UTICA" in white lettering on a black background run below the trim line at regular intervals. The outer track walls are made of tile and have a maroon trim line with a dark maroon border. The station has four tracks and two island platforms, typical for a four-track express station. → toward Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue late nights ( Ralph Avenue) → Rockaway Park–Beach 116th Street ( Broadway Junction) → → toward Far Rockaway–Mott Avenue, Ozone Park–Lefferts Boulevard or ← toward Inwood–207th Street ( Nostrand Avenue) ← toward Inwood–207th Street late nights ( Kingston–Throop Avenues) ← toward 168th Street ( Kingston–Throop Avenues) Station layout Gįare control, station agent, Metrocard machines, to closed Utica Avenue Line platformsĬonnection between upper mezzanine and westbound trainsĬonnection between upper mezzanine and eastbound trains The Reid Avenue El station, which was originally named Utica Avenue and was formerly above the current subway station, closed on May 31, 1940.
