On January 25th, 2023, the Metropolitan Transit Authority opened Grand Central Madison to the public. Expected to commence full service on February 27th, 2023, the new world-class terminal is located underneath and adjacent to the existing Grand Central Terminal, 15 stories below street level and includes entrances along Madison Avenue. The new terminal includes a 350,000-square-foot passenger concourse with 25 retail storefronts, WiFi and cell service, digital signage with real time train information, and new, permanent art installations by Yayoi Kusama and Kiki Smith. Currently, digital displays in the concourse feature selected public works installations from LIRR stations, including details of Roy Nicholson’s Hicksville Station (2019).
