A Second Avenue Subway line has been planned since 1919.
A subway line under Second Avenue would relieve congestion on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line (), currently the only line running up the East Side of Manhattan.
A few short sections of the line have been completed over the years, with some serving other subway lines ( the Grand Street Station is one example ), and others simply sitting vacant underground ( such as the unused upper level at the Second Avenue station ).
Portions have been leased from time to time by New York Telephone to house equipment serving the company's principal north-south communication lines which run under the Avenue.
Construction was begun again on April 12, 2007, on Phase 1 of a subway line that will eventually extend from 125th Street to the Financial District.
Phase 1 connects the currently unused BMT 63rd Street Line with the new line north to stations at 72nd, 86th and 96th Streets.
