Service was initially operated as a shuttle between Kingsbridge Road and 149th Street.
ġ70th Street station opened as part of the initial section of the line to Kingsbridge Road on June 2, 1917. As part of Contract 3, the IRT agreed to build an elevated line along Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. The Dual Contracts promised the construction of several lines in the Bronx. The contracts were "dual" in that they were signed between the city and two separate private companies (the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company), all working together to make the construction of the Dual Contracts possible. The Dual Contracts, which were signed on March 19, 1913, were contracts for the construction and/or rehabilitation and operation of rapid transit lines in the City of New York.
This station was constructed by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company as part of the Dual Contracts and opened in 1917. Located at the intersection of 170th Street and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, it is served by the 4 train at all times. The 170th Street station is a local station on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line of the New York City Subway.
