Eighth Avenue station (BMT Sea Beach Line)

[2] This station, along with eight others along the Sea Beach Line, was renovated from 2016 to 2019, which initially included installation of two ADA-accessible elevators (original plans were to construct two wheelchair ramps to each platform).

[10] A project to make the station ADA-accessible was originally expected to be completed in December 2018,[11] but was repeatedly delayed.

[17] Plans for the Interborough Express, a light rail line using the Bay Ridge Branch right of way, were announced in 2023.

[23] The LIRR Bay Ridge Branch crosses underneath and is visible from the north end of the station.

A single staircase from each platform goes up to a crossover, where a set of doors lead to the waiting area above the station house.

[24] The station also has an entrance at the extreme west (railroad north) end, with two staircases from each platform leading up to Seventh Avenue and 62nd Street.

[25] The staircases and overpass above the tracks remained intact, and the entrances were reopened in February 2019 as part of the reconstruction of this station.
