A new connection linking the subways and PATH trains at the World Trade Center transportation hub opened Thursday, the MTA said.
The connection, a 350 foot-long, 27 foot-wide tunnel, allows the 300,000 customers who use the hub daily to walk underneath Dey Street and Church street without exiting the station.
It connects nine subway trains — the A, C, J, Z, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 — to the PATH station.
Fulton Center’s 10 escalators and 15 elevators to access the PATH station makes the new connection accessible to all customers.
According to the MTA, a future link in the passageway will connect the E line to Fulton Center via an entrance from the World Trade Center subway station terminals. The 1 line at the Cortlandt St. Station will also be accessible once reconstruction of that station is complete in 2018.
