Water Intrusion Problem, might spread to affect train service

[NX Express]

Due to a water intrusion problem at the 53rd Street-Lexington Avenue Station, escalator #245 is temporarily out of service.

 

Customers are advised to avoid the 3rd Avenue Exit at this time.

 

I hope this is not going to mess up the 53 Street tunnel during the peak of the rush hour.:eek:

If all the elevators are out of service, the 53rd Street- Lexington Avenue Station will not be accessible. Accessible stations are better for the elders.

It has nothing to do with train service.

We are talking about escalator problem, not elevators; it has not affected...

 

 

The problem was:

 

Late last night, contractors installing new cables struck a concrete viaduct under the mezzanine floor causing flooding.

 

Contractor will repair damage overnight. Elevator & Escalator staff are working to bring escalator #245 back by tomorrow.

 

*Water resulting from a breach like this would be intrusion*

Oh, escalators and elevators spells like the same. Thanks!
