After several delays, the light can finally be seen at the end of the tunnel for the 7 train extension to the West Side.
The MTA announced the new 34th Street-Hudson Yards station will open to the public on Sunday, September 13 at 1 p.m.
The $2.4 billion extension's opening has been pushed back several times because of construction delays and equipment tests.
Agency officials say the station is ready to go.
"We didn't manufacture the elevators, we didn't manufacture the escalators. But we do, in fact, have to make sure that once they're delivered, that they work properly. That they're safe, that they're installed properly, and that's what we needed the extra time to do," said MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz.
Then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a ceremonial ride into the station in December 2013 when the city had hoped it would open.
The 34th Street-Hudson Yards station is the subway's 469th station and the first station to fully be funded by the city since the 1950 opening of the Jamaica-179th Street station in Queens.
